Share Your Expertise With the Community
Think you have a perspective worth sharing? We want to hear it. The RSAC Year-Round Call for Submissions is open to security practitioners at every level. Submit a webcast, podcast, or blog and put your insights in front of one of the largest cybersecurity audiences in the world.
A Few Things to Know Before You Submit
-
Your submission must come from you. If you're submitting on behalf of someone else, you must also be an author or planned participant. Third-party submissions won't be accepted.
-
RSAC does not pay for submissions and does not charge contributors a fee.
-
We read every submission carefully and do our best to respond within two weeks. If you don't hear back from us, please assume that we were unable to accept your submission at this time.
Not Sure What to Write About?
RSAC maintains an Editorial Calendar of monthly topics, but you're not limited to it. Submit on any topic, at any time.
If Your Submission Isn't Accepted
We receive a high volume of proposals. Before resubmitting, it's worth reviewing seeing the tips below, which outlines exactly what the editorial team looks for. See topics and content examples in our Library.
Tips for Your Submission
- We review blog proposals on an ongoing basis, so submit whenever inspiration strikes.
- Bring something new to the conversation. We only publish original content that hasn't appeared elsewhere.
- Showcase your expertise and focus on thought leadership. Proposals must be vendor-, product-, and solution-agnostic.
- Include three concise takeaways that reflect the main insights of your post, so readers can quickly understand its value.
- Aim for about 600–800 words.
- Keep your title to 75 characters or fewer.
- If you reference third-party data or an external article, you must embed an ungated link directly to the source.
- Our community values solutions over problem statements. The value lies in what security professionals can do to reduce risk and minimize impact. Share the insights, experiences, and lessons learned that will help your peers take action.
- Every blog must link to at least one expert resource from the RSAC Library.
- Write in the third person. Blogs shouldn't address readers as "you."
- Keywords: Research relevant keywords and use them naturally throughout your post.
- Meta tags: Write meta titles and descriptions that accurately summarize your content and include your target keywords.
- Header tags: Use H1, H2, and H3 headers to structure your content and improve readability.
- Linking: Link to relevant content in the RSAC Library and to credible external sources. Aim for one link per header. For a good example, see this blog on evolving cyber threats.
- Expert pages: Quoting a cybersecurity professional? See if they have an Expert Page in the RSAC Library and link to it, so readers can learn more about the voices behind your insights.
- Following these tips helps your blog go live sooner. Posts that need revisions are placed on hold until changes are complete.
- Share original, unpublished content.
- Keep your proposal vendor-, product-, and solution-agnostic, and focus on specific challenges and issues practitioners are facing.
- Podcast submissions require 4–6 weeks of lead time.
- Podcasts are conversations, so plan for one to two guests.
- Webcast submissions require at least 6 months of lead time for editorial topic proposals. Ad hoc topics are encouraged, and lead time will vary if accepted.
- If you're submitting a podcast or panel topic, be ready to recommend industry peers. We welcome speakers from different geographies, experience levels, business sectors, roles, and organizations, so please be inclusive in your recommendations.
- Use the session details section to outline exactly what you plan to discuss.
- We receive thousands of submissions each year, and the strongest ones show real expertise. Speak authentically and with authority based on your own experience.
- Know your audience. Our virtual and online content reaches a global audience at every stage of their cybersecurity careers. Know the sector you're targeting and be clear about who you want to reach.
- Showcase your experience with case studies. Our audience values case studies, real experiences, and lessons learned, and wants to hear your experience from the trenches.
- Be action-oriented. Just like sessions at Conference, all virtual sessions should end with an "apply" slide. Attendees want prescriptive advice they can act on in the near, mid, and long term.
