Cybersecurity moves fast: Old vulnerabilities are patched as new exploits appear. Cybercrime gangs form and strike and fade, disappearing with millions of ransom dollars. What protected the organization yesterday might leave it hopelessly exposed today. At the same time, cybersecurity pros rely on core principles—like the CIA triad of infosec, the principle of least privilege, zero trust architectures—to help them navigate this shifting terrain.
Security Intelligence addresses both of these angles in a single, exciting, and digestible podcast episode every week. Listeners learn both the latest news and timeless insights, all from experts they can trust. This format speaks directly to the needs and preferences of cybersecurity practitioners, who want frequent, granular and technical content that gives need-to-know information.
