Add SBS CyberSecurity as a Preferred Source on Google | SBS

Google’s new preferred sources feature lets you take control over the news you see in search. You can choose which sources appear more often in Top Stories, including SBS CyberSecurity.

If you rely on our blogs and webinars to stay on top of cybersecurity trends, this feature makes it easy to see our updates first. Business leaders and IT professionals can also encourage their customers to do the same, helping them stay connected to your alerts, insights, and expertise.

Why Google Preferred Sources Matter

Staying ahead of emerging cyber threats requires fast access to trustworthy information. Google’s preferred sources feature:

• Puts trusted experts first: Your preferred outlets appear more often in the Top Stories and From Your Sources sections.
• Cuts through the noise: Get more content from organizations you know and less from those you don’t.
• Gives you control: You choose which voices you see most often.

By making SBS CyberSecurity one of your preferred sources, you’ll have faster access to expert commentary on breaking cyber threats, regulatory and compliance updates, and actionable security tips and best practices.
