I write about Internet security for VentureBeat, including enterprise security, cloud security, mobile security, your mom’s security, security policy, and cyber criminals. I also dig cultural stories, and startups dealing with non-tech-savvy markets.

I am based in San Francisco, but have roots in NY. When I’m not writing for VentureBeat, I’m generally cooking, painting, or checking Beyonce’s Tumblr.

Disclosures: I stand behind everything detailed in VentureBeat’s ethics statement. I do not own any tech stocks, and I do not accept gifts or trips from the companies I cover. I do, however, accept pens.

You can reach me at the email address below or on twitter at @MeghanKel. It is always good practice to cc- tips@venturebeat.com just in case your pitch gets lost in my inbox. Pitching me on Twitter or LinkedIn does not work well.
