HPR3324: Infosec Podcasts Part 1 News and Current Events

Inoffensive in every region of the world

Hello, again. This is Trey. This is part 1 of a 6 part series related to information security podcasts.

Why am I recording this series?

"What podcasts you listen to" was on the list of recommended topics

I am passionate about information security

We desperately need people to fill infosec jobs in many different specialties

Infosec is a rapidly changing field, and it is critical to stay current

As a result I listen to TONS of infosec related podcasts

Because there are so many podcasts to list, I will break them down into 6 different episodes based on topics:

• Part 1 – News & Current Events
• Part 2 – General Information Security
• Part 3 - Career & Personal Development
• Part 4 – Social Engineering
• Part 5 -
  • Hacks & Attacks
  • Technical Information & Learning
  • Infosec Community / Social / History
• Part 6 – Infosec Leadership

Part 1

Infosec News / current events podcasts – Why?

Stay aware of what is happening for your own personal growth

If you already work in IT or Infosec, you can have early awareness about attacks to look for indicators of compromise, or learn new tools and techniques

You can get a head start answering questions from leadership, when they ask about something they heard on the news or from a peer.
