Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 14 November 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At SecureNet Academy, we believe in being transparent about our business relationships and how we generate revenue. This advertising disclosure explains any financial relationships, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content that may appear on our website.
We maintain editorial independence and always prioritize providing honest, valuable information to our visitors. Any commercial relationships do not compromise the integrity of our content or recommendations.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Programme Participation
SecureNet Academy may participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website. These programmes include:
- • Technology and software vendors relevant to cybersecurity training
- • Educational platforms and online learning resources
- • Professional certification bodies and examination services
- • Books, publications, and reference materials
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the seller. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or access the seller directly.
We only recommend products, services, or resources that we believe provide genuine value. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or the honest opinions we share about products and services.
Product Recommendations
Any product or service recommendations we make are based on our professional assessment of their relevance and quality for cybersecurity professionals. We evaluate resources based on their educational value, accuracy, and potential benefit to our community. We may receive compensation for some recommendations, but this does not affect our selection criteria or the honesty of our reviews.
Sponsored Content
Paid Promotions
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotional material on our website. When we do:
- • All sponsored content will be clearly labelled as such
- • We maintain editorial control over how sponsored content is presented
- • Sponsored content aligns with our audience's interests and needs
- • We only accept sponsorships from reputable organizations
Brand Partnerships
We may form partnerships with companies and organizations in the cybersecurity industry. These partnerships might involve cross-promotion, co-branded content, or other collaborative arrangements. When such partnerships affect content on our website, we will disclose the relationship clearly to our visitors.
Content Authenticity
Regardless of financial arrangements, we maintain our commitment to providing accurate, helpful information. All content, whether sponsored or organic, undergoes the same quality standards. We will never compromise on accuracy or mislead our audience for commercial gain.

This helps show you advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. You can control these tracking technologies through your browser settings or by opting out through industry opt-out mechanisms.
