The KBI Dossier.
Two newsletters, one signup. The editorial dispatch we write, and the cybersecurity feed you shape.
A weekly dispatch from the desk.
Friday afternoons, US East. Our editorial team's read on the week — the stories that mattered, the ones the rest of the industry missed, and what they mean for the people who have to act on them.
One newsletter, everyone receives the same edition. Carries the same threat feed snapshot our intelligence subscribers see.
- — Editorial: an open from the editor
- — Five stories we'd put on the front page if we had one
- — This week's threat feed
- — One contributor essay
- — The week's podcasts and interviews
A newsroll you actually configure.
Pick your topics, formats and regions. We assemble. Daily or weekly cadence, your call.
No "trending" black box. No engagement-bait. You tell us you read identity, vendor M&A, and Australia — that's what arrives.
- — Topics: 50+ across Business and Tech — multi-select
- — Formats: articles, interviews, podcasts, press releases — opt in or out
- — Regions: North America, EMEA, APAC, ANZ, or Global — multi-select
- — Cadence: daily, weekly, or both
- — This week's threat feed, same snapshot as the Communiqué
Cybersecurity coverage is broken. We're not going to fix all of it, but we can fix this slice.
Most security newsletters fall into two camps. The vendor-funded sort that tells you which product to buy this week, and the aggregator sort that lists every CVE without telling you which ones matter. Neither tells you what an actual practitioner needs to know to make a decision.
KBI.Media is independent. Vendor-Anchored Coverage, Priority Partner appearances and Topic Spotlights are clearly labelled — never blended into editorial. The Dossier carries one sponsor per edition, named at the top, and that's the end of it.
The Feed gives you control over what arrives because attention is the scarce resource, and the discipline of saying "no, not that topic this week" is something an algorithm cannot do honestly on your behalf.
Free. Always.
Pick your products and preferences after signup. Topic and region filters apply only to the Feed; the Communiqué is the same for everyone.
We're GDPR / CCPA compliant. Unsubscribe in one click from any edition. We don't sell the list, we don't share it with sponsors, and we don't enrich it with third-party data brokers.
Questions you'd reasonably ask.
Why two newsletters?
Because editorial and curation are different jobs. The Communiqué is what we think mattered this week — a perspective. The Feed is a tool you configure to filter the firehose. Most newsletters try to do both and end up doing neither well.
Is it actually free?
Yes. We run on event coverage and Priority Partner relationships — explicitly disclosed in our Editorial Standards. Subscribers don't pay because the audience is the product KBI sells back to the industry — and we're transparent about that.
How is this different from the existing kbi.media newsletter?
The current newsletter is a single roll-up that goes to everyone. The Dossier splits that into the Communiqué (the curated editorial half) and the Feed (the customisable half), so readers can have one, the other, or both at different cadences. Existing subscribers will be migrated.
Can I unsubscribe?
One click in any edition. We're popular enough that we'll manage without you — but we'd rather you stayed. If you want your record fully purged we honour that under GDPR / CCPA and don't keep a residual "do-not-contact" entry beyond what those laws require.
Sponsorship — what's actually allowed?
One sponsor per edition, named at the top, clearly labelled. They don't see the subscriber list. They don't get to influence editorial. Vendor-Anchored Coverage in the body of the newsletter is also labelled when present. See Editorial Standards for the full disclosure taxonomy.
