How do you feel about podcasts? If you’re like me, when I find a series that I like, I binge. But if I’m being honest, finding a good podcast (outside of the RSAC 365 podcast series, of course) is a lot of work. I rely on my sister for recommendations, and it appears I’m not the only one who looks to others for podcast referrals.
The New York Times shared a list of six podcasts, all of which “tap into the dangers of our wired life, exploring cybercrime, cryptocurrency and the many flavors of horror that lurk on the dark web.” Lots of delicious listening for cyber-minded individuals.
Podcasts are a great source of entertainment and education that many of us enjoy listening to while exercising, driving, folding laundry, or traveling. Are you traveling anywhere soon? (Of course you are!) If you’re looking for in-flight entertainment on your way to San Francisco, check out these ITSP podcast hosts, many of whom will be speaking at RSA Conference 2022 in less than two weeks. Or, download Your Everyday Cyber Podcast with Limor Kessem and Diana Kelley, then be sure to reserve a seat for The Jetsons Are Here – Now What Are the Security Implications, where you can hear Diana and her esteemed co-panelists discuss the security implications of our interconnected world.
