VERDICT

Should I use CyberScoop?

CyberScoop delivers up-to-the-minute breaking cybersecurity news and is the leading public sector media company reaching top leaders - cyberscoop.com

Depends. Follow it if you track US government cybersecurity — it's free, rated least-biased, and cited in official briefings. Skip it if you're buying protection or intel; it's journalism, and sponsorship pricing sits behind a sales call.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~50 public sources; no user reviews or published ad pricing found.

Best for

  • Federal and state cyber policy watchers

Not for

  • Anyone shopping for security tooling — this is news, not software

  • Teams needing deep non-US or commercial-sector coverage
  • Marketers without a government/public-sector audience

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Advertising and sponsorship pricing is not published; expect a sales conversation

medium

Vendor-sponsored content appears; a Cisco-branded report runs with CyberScoop branding

low

Guess: journalism cadence, not real-time intel — don't rely on it for vulnerability alerts
