There are many IT security podcasts out there; too many, perhaps. Certainly too many to listen to. The challenge is to decide on which ones to follow on a regular basis. I became aware of a good candidate a couple of years ago, and since it retained its qualities (listed below) over time, I figured it is worth mentioning.
This podcast is called: “Security Now” and it is featured by Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte. Leo is a good host. He manages the show and its topics well, all in a healthy, joyful, spirit. Steve is a well-known security expert, and the creator of SpinRite — a disk maintenance and recovery tool.
One final note: Security Now is an IT security podcast. It discusses security as it applies to IT systems, networks, PCs, web services, and such. It is not a security engineering podcast, and thus does not address issues of secure system design, software, hardware, and system engineering, etc.
The Security Now podcast is available in audio and in video at: http://twit.tv/sn. I personally use the audio version and it is good enough.
