Simply select the appropriate submission tier (Community, Verified Listing, Highlight Boost, or Featured Spotlight) and provide the required information about your tool. All submissions are subject to editorial review, and we'll issue a full refund if your tool is deemed unsuitable.

Community submissions are published within 14 days, Verified Listings submissions within 3 days.

We evaluate submissions based on the tool's relevance, functionality, and alignment with the needs of our cybersecurity professional audience. Tools must provide genuine value and be free of any inappropriate or malicious content.

A commercial tool is usually a cybersecurity product that costs money or has some pricing model. Even if the tool has a free tier, such product is considered commercial. The key distinction is that commercial tools generate revenue for the company or organization behind the product.

Community or free products are those that do not have any pricing models and are available to use for free. This can include open-source projects, community-driven tools, and other cybersecurity resources that are provided at no cost to the user. These products are typically maintained and developed by the community rather than a commercial entity.

Yes, you will receive an email notification when your tool submission is published on the CyberSecTools platform. We'll let you know as soon as your listing goes live, so you can start promoting it to your audience.

The Verified Listing is a one-time fee, not a subscription. If you submit your tool for the Verified Listing, our team will review it, and if we decide not to list it for any reason, we will issue a full refund of the listing fee. Our goal is to maintain a high-quality, curated directory, so we exercise discretion in the tools we feature, but we also want to ensure a fair and transparent process for all submissions.

For Verified Listings, our team creates the initial tool description based on the information you provide. However, if you feel the description is inaccurate or needs updating, you can report any issues, and we'll work with you to ensure the description accurately reflects your tool's features and capabilities. Additionally, Verified Listings include a dedicated "Features" section that you can fill out to showcase the main features and functionalities of your product.

We guarantee a full refund if your tool doesn't get published, as it sometimes happens due to our editorial policy. Our goal is to maintain a high-quality, curated directory, so we exercise discretion in the tools we feature. However, if your submission is denied for any reason, you will receive a full refund of the listing fee.

The Featured Spotlight provides maximum visibility and exposure for your cybersecurity product. By featuring your product, you ensure it is prominently displayed at the top of the CyberSecTools homepage, ensuring it is the first product visitors see. Featured tools have a distinct green-colored card that immediately distinguishes them from other listings. This prime placement and visual differentiation help drive more clicks, engagement, and potential customers to your product.

You pay a one-time fee that makes your product featured for 30 days. After 30 days, the product will stop being featured, but you can feature the product for another 30 days again by paying the one-time fee.

Yes, absolutely. Any tool that is already listed on the CyberSecTools platform, regardless of the initial submission tier, can be upgraded to the Highlight Boost or Featured Spotlight tiers. This allows you to enhance the visibility and exposure of your tool even if it was originally submitted through the free Community Submission option.
