Authors

Last updated Sep 11, 2026

Configure author profiles under Portal Settings → Authors. Author bylines matter for both SEO (E-E-A-T) and AEO (AI engines weight authoritative sources).

When to Use Authors

• Editorial content. Blog posts, articles, opinion pieces
• Technical content. Security analysis, engineering guides
• Branded content. Anything where credibility matters

For pure programmatic pages (e.g., glossary entries), authors are optional.

What to Include

For each author:

• Full name
• Title and company
• Short bio (2–3 sentences)
• Profile photo (square, 400x400 minimum)
• Author URL (LinkedIn, X, personal site)
• Areas of expertise

Why This Matters for AEO

AI engines look for E-E-A-T signals: Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness. A page with a credible byline + author schema markup gets cited more often than the same content from an anonymous source.

For cybersecurity content specifically, AI engines weight bylines heavily. a CISO author or a CISSP-certified researcher signals trustworthiness in a category where accuracy matters.
