Even though many of us are hunkered down working from home, there are still ample opportunities to learn about the latest cybersecurity threats, news, and trends. Take podcasts for example; they have become an indispensable medium to get news and information from a variety of sources.

Our extended team of Orca Security employees, customers, investors (including Silicon Valley CISO Investments which is made up of over 50 prominent CISOs) has assembled a list of the top cyber security podcasts we are listening to now – while stuck at home. They are listed in no particular order, but we have included comments about ‘why a particular podcast is worth a listen’. We think all of these security podcasts are great, but we realize 50 may be too many for most folks. Accordingly, we’ve included our own “Star Rating”, so you can see our favorites.

In developing this list, we found that some of the long-standing podcasts have stopped developing new episodes. We’re not sure if this is due to the pandemic or just the normal ebb and flow of creating podcasts (after all, it’s a side-gig for most people). Whatever the reason, rest assured we will revisit and update this list on a quarterly basis.

We hope you enjoy these recommended cyber security podcasts the next time you are kicking back, or reading your email, or helping out with chores around the house. There is no better time to get educated as to the wide world of cyber security than now!
