Cyber Snowden is an independent cybersecurity blog, built to be the most useful one for businesses and everyday users. We explain security in plain language so that business owners, IT teams, teachers, students and everyday users can understand the threats they face and take practical steps to protect themselves.
Why we exist
Most security content is written either for experts or to sell a product. Small businesses, schools and individuals are left with jargon, scare stories and vendor marketing. Cyber Snowden fills that gap with clear, honest guides that answer the question first and then show you exactly what to do.

Our editorial standards
- Answer first: every guide starts with a short, direct answer, followed by detail, tables and checklists.
- Sources linked: we check facts against primary and official sources such as NIST, CISA, national cybersecurity agencies, regulators, vulnerability databases and vendor documentation, and we link to them so you can verify what we say.
- Accurate numbers: where figures are disputed or come from attackers rather than victims, we say so.
- Kept up to date: we review and update guides when standards, products or threats change.
- Independent: our recommendations are not for sale. Sponsored content and guest posts must meet the same standards.
