Help Net Security
Croatian-based, non-partisan cybersecurity trade press (no U.S. political lean)
Background
Help Net Security describes itself as an independent publication focused on information security and says it has operated since 1998. It is based in Croatia and run by a small team. Berislav Kucan handles sales, and Mirko Zorz directs content. The same team publishes (IN)SECURE Magazine, a free PDF magazine that carries industry articles and ads. The site publishes a high volume of short news items, product announcements, vendor research summaries and interviews with security professionals. Because it is funded by security vendors, much of its content draws on vendor press releases and surveys, so readers should note that the coverage can lean toward industry framing and product news. I did not find notable editorial controversies or ownership changes. When it covers U.S. government actions, such as CISA changes, cybersecurity executive orders or federal cuts, it generally reports them in a factual, news-report style with little political commentary. I could not directly review its recent administration coverage in detail, so the stance rating rests on its trade-press format and not on a systematic review.
