In the past five years, Podcasts have gone from fringe media to one of the most popular ways to get news and information.
Information Security podcasts haven’t exactly been a big part of the explosion in podcast popularity— there’s no Serial for IAM, though I think there are quite a few of us who’d be interested in a detective style infosec podcast (that’s just good pod, people). But for those in the know, or those who need to know, infosec podcasts can be a great resource. So check out our top infosec podcasts and educate yourself next time you’re stuck in traffic or handling a rote office task.
This is by no means a complete list, so please let me know if I missed any in the comments below!
