Security Podcasts I've been listening to

Maybe old news for some people, but I've been listening to some security podcasts over the last couple of weeks.  I do a lot of online training and reading, but for some reason I've not been doing the podcast thing for InfoSec. I've spent a while looking for something good, and I have found two that I like.  

The first comes from CIS, the Center for Information Security (https://www.cisecurity.org/). CIS is a information security non-profit, known for publishing controls and benchmarks to  help  define and improve information security standards.

 

The Podcast is "Cybersecurity Where You Are"  (https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/podcast) though I accessed it on Spotify. As of today it's on Episode 97 with the first on 11 February 2021. Presented by  Sean Atkinson and Tony Sager it's informal and interesting. Sean Atkinson is the CISO for CIS.Tony Sager is a Senior VP & Chief Evangelist for CIS, with a career at the NSA behind him.

The second is "Security Now" from TWiT (This Week in Technology).<https://twit.tv/shows/security-now)


It is presented by Steve Gibson and Leo LaPorte.  It's been around for 20 years, on episode #987 as I write this. Steve Gibson is well known in the security community. Leo LaPorte  has been a technology commentator  for years, and owns TWiT.

From the web page "Cybersecurity guru Steve Gibson joins Leo Laporte every Tuesday. Steve and Leo break down the latest cybercrime and hacking stories, offering a deep understanding of what's happening and how to protect yourself and your business. Security Now is a must listen for security professionals every week." 

Again, I found it on Spotify.  Each episode is accompanied with substantial notes.
