9 Podcasts to Increase Your Online Security Awareness

You are here

Digital security can sometimes feel like a minefield of jargon, technical content, and time consuming tasks. Online security courses and YouTube videos are a great way to learn more about the field, but it can be difficult to carve out the time to sit down and watch large chunks of content.

The answer to the conundrum is security podcasts. The podcast is currently experiencing something of a golden era, with shows for almost every interest and hobby readily available on a multitude of platforms. The best part? Most podcasts are completely free.

Being security-minded you may wonder why you should trust a completely free podcast. In a crowded and fast-paced industry, podcasts allow security researchers, analysts, and journalists to build a profile for themselves. For other hosts it allows them some time away from the intensity of the day job to indulge in their passion.

Fortunately for you, that means that there is a lot of truly excellent security-focused content out there, just waiting for you to receive it.
