Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Podcasts
I’m learning all I can about cyber threat intelligence (CTI), and I’ve been an avid podcast consumer since 2004. So, naturally, I’ve found several CTI podcasts to learn from.
I prefer those that teach something about the practice of CTI rather than simply reporting on incidents, but I understand that the podcasters aren’t able to divulge much “behind-the-scenes” info.
Several of these cover OSINT as well, because CTI often involves OSINT. I have a separate list of OSINT podcasts, if you’re interested.
Here are the podcasts (in alphabetical order), along with descriptions written by the podcasters.
If you know of others, please let me know!
