Dark Reading recently launched its first-ever podcast, Dark Reading Confidential, after receiving encouragement and support from members of its CISO Advisory Board. The idea for the podcast came from a question posed by board members about why Dark Reading did not already have a podcast. This question sparked discussions within the Dark Reading team about creating a podcast that would offer a new way to engage with their audience.
The concept behind Dark Reading Confidential is to provide a platform for cybersecurity practitioners to share their professional and personal stories related to current news and trends in the industry. The podcast aims to bring these experiences and insights to life through intimate conversations, allowing peers to hear directly from their colleagues in the field.
The inaugural episode of Dark Reading Confidential, titled “The CISO and the SEC,” features Reddit CISO Frederick “Flee” Lee, Reddit chief counsel Ben Lee, and cybersecurity attorney Beth Burgin Waller. The episode delves into the challenges that CISOs face with the new SEC breach disclosure rules, offering expert advice and insights for CISOs navigating this regulatory landscape.
Hosted by Dark Reading senior editor Becky Bracken, with Jim Donahue, managing editor of commentary and copy desk, and other Dark Reading team members, Dark Reading Confidential is set to be a monthly podcast that will provide valuable insights and perspectives from industry experts.
Listeners can tune in to Dark Reading Confidential on the Dark Reading website or on major podcast platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, Pocket Casts, and Deezer. The podcast aims to be a valuable resource for cybersecurity professionals looking to stay informed about the latest developments in the industry and gain insights from their peers.
Overall, Dark Reading’s decision to launch Dark Reading Confidential reflects its commitment to providing diverse and engaging content for its audience. By leveraging the expertise and experiences of cybersecurity practitioners, the podcast offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the industry today.Listeners can look forward to future episodes that will continue to explore timely and relevant topics in cybersecurity, offering valuable insights and advice from industry experts.
