Featured & Verified on CybersecTools
202 countries reached · 773,790 AI bot fetches / month
Verified listings get all of this.
Three things a Verified listing gets you:
Reach buyers, not scrollers
62,789 security pros research here every month — engineers, architects, and team leads comparing tools right now.
Get cited in AI answers
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude cite CybersecTools when buyers ask what to use. Their bots read our listings to build the answer — so a listing puts your product in front of buyers who never open a search tab.
Verified profile + trusted vendor link
Verified and Featured listings get an enhanced, indexable profile, a direct link to the vendor's official website, and a verification badge that helps buyers identify claimed listings.

ClaudeBuyers come here to choose. Ad platforms interrupt them.
Ad budgets pay for people scrolling a feed. A CybersecTools listing reaches buyers already comparing security tools.
Pay only when a buyer clicks
Cold traffic — listed cybersecurity CPC
Cold traffic — cybersecurity keyword avg
Cold traffic — B2B feed avg
In-market buyers — pay only per click, no subscription
External figures are industry-average cost-per-click for cybersecurity keywords (Google, LinkedIn) and listed category CPC (G2), where most visits are cold traffic. Results vary by category.
Featured: reach, by the thousand
$12.25 CPM
to reach 1,000 security buyers
Featured shows ~48,900 impressions/mo to security buyers. The same $599/mo buys ~18,152 impressions on LinkedIn.
Click Ads put an in-market buyer on your site from $6 — up to 5× cheaper than ad platforms. Featured gets you in front of 48,900 buyers a month for less than half of LinkedIn's CPM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about submitting and promoting your product.
Fill out the submission form at the top of this page with your tool's URL. Our team reviews each submission and enriches it with detailed product data, category classification, and NIST CSF mapping. Free listings are included at no cost.
Security professionals, including security engineers, architects, and team leads actively searching for tools to evaluate. Our traffic comes primarily from organic search and AI recommendations from ChatGPT and other AI assistants.
Yes. Verified and Featured listing owners get access to claim and manage their tool profile, including updating descriptions, adding integrations, and responding to reviews.
Free listings go live after editorial review, typically within 2 weeks. Verified and Featured plans go live within 24 hours of submission.
Any cybersecurity product: SaaS platforms, open-source tools, managed services, and hardware appliances. The product must be focused on cybersecurity. We do not list generic IT tools, fintech, blockchain, or military/defense products.
CybersecTools is the only directory built exclusively for cybersecurity. Every visitor is evaluating security products. We cover 10,000+ tools across 16 security-specific categories with NIST CSF 2.0 mapping, something horizontal directories cannot offer.
Verified listings display a green checkmark that signals to security buyers that the vendor has been vetted. It builds immediate trust during the evaluation process, similar to how verified badges work on social platforms.
Featured Plus is our highest tier, capped at 3 vendors site-wide. On top of everything in Featured, Plus vendors occupy the top 3 reserved spots in every featured section and sidebar across the site — always above Featured customers. You also get top positioning on every weekly digest email, a quarterly category intelligence report for your sales decks and analyst conversations, plus a one-time launch boost: a dedicated email blast to our subscribers and a founder-led LinkedIn post to a 16,500+ cybersec audience.
Plus has a hard global cap of 3 active vendors. If all 3 slots are taken when you try to upgrade, we won't charge you — instead we'll add you to a waitlist and notify you the moment a slot opens. Existing Plus vendors can be displaced only by their own choice (downgrade or churn), not by a higher bid.
Yes. You can start with a free listing and upgrade to Verified, Featured, or Featured Plus at any time from your account dashboard. If you want to downgrade, your current plan runs until the end of the billing period.
Verified is $99/month, or $990/year with annual billing (two months free).
Click Ads are pay-per-click placements across the site: category pages, comparison pages, competitor product pages, tool detail pages, sidebar, and the market map. You prepay a budget ($150 minimum, $6 per click) and your ads run until the budget is fully spent. No monthly management needed.
Two ways. First, you can track clicks directly from your account dashboard on CybersecTools. Second, all outbound clicks include UTM parameters (utm_source=cybersectools.com, utm_medium=cpc, utm_campaign=cpc-ad) so you can track CybersecTools traffic in your own analytics (Google Analytics, Plausible, etc.) and measure downstream conversions on your side.
