The Top Seven Podcasts for InfoSec Pros

Securitypodcasts2In 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 with the popularity of dramatized infosec TV shows such as Mr. Robot, it may not be to far off. 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!

Risky Business is an excellent Information Security news show hosted by journalist Patrick Gray. Gray has been running Risky Business since 2007 and does a great job keeping up with (and explaining) the latest security concepts.
