- "Cloud Security Podcast" covers cloud-specific cybersecurity areas with hosts chatting to industry experts about threat models and security concerns in the cloud sector.
While the newer "Cyber Focus podcast" from the McCrary Institute is highly rated, it started after 2021, so would not have existed then.
These podcasts provide a strong foundation for cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts looking for quality content from that era and slightly beyond. If you seek recommendations exactly limited to 2021 releases, these ongoing podcasts had active episodes around that time or shortly before.
If you're looking for specific episode recommendations or focus areas (e.g., technical, management, policy), feel free to let me know!
In this expansive collection of podcasts, both "Adopting Zero Trust" and " Cybersecurity Encyclopedia: A Podcast on Technology and Cybersecurity" are notable programs that delve deeply into the concept of zero trust in cybersecurity and provide valuable insights on various technology aspects, standing out since 2020 and beyond.
