Cybersecurity Exchange Publishing Guidelines

All content must be 100% unique to EC-Council and may not be published elsewhere. Publication of content elsewhere without the express permission of EC-Council will result in its removal from the EC-Council website. Content should align with topics covered by EC-Council certifications; EC-Council certifications are listed under the Programs tab at eccouncil.org.

All content submitted for publication is subject to approval. EC-Council’s agreement to review your content does not constitute acceptance of publication on the EC-Council website or anywhere else. If EC-Council accepts your work for publication, a representative of the company will reach out to you and let you know. EC-Council reserves the right to edit content before it is published.

EC-Council uses APA style. You can find APA guidelines and resources here. It is the responsibility of the author to ensure sources are cited and that they are credible, accurate, complete, and relevant. Sources should not link to competitor content. All content submitted to EC-Council for publication consideration will be reviewed and vetted internally. If it is deemed suitable for publication, it will undergo an editing process.

You are welcome to link back to any content published on EC-Council’s website from your professional website or from social media. However, any accompanying text must be original and cannot be copied from the content published on EC-Council.
