VERDICT

Should I use Itsecurityguru?

IT Security News and Cybersecurity News - itsecurityguru.org

Depends. Fine as a free daily cybersecurity news digest if you want headlines, breach coverage, and vendor announcements. It is not a security product, so anyone shopping for protection or tooling should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; this is a cybersecurity publication, not a software product, so buyer-fit evidence is limited.
