What CyberWire Daily covers

The show describes itself as the daily cybersecurity news and analysis that industry leaders depend on. It is published each weekday and also includes interviews with a wide spectrum of experts from industry, academia and research organizations.

The episode descriptions in the latest feed items show the daily format: a run of short news items per episode, such as critical PHP flaws, a GitLab patch, a Google Cloud outage affecting UK banks and AI-assisted attacks. The feed also carries Research Saturday, a weekly interview edition, which is why the episode count is higher than one per weekday. If you only want the daily briefing, look for the daily-podcast episodes in the feed; the Research Saturday editions are a longer weekly conversation with one guest.

Who it's for

Our take: it suits security practitioners and managers who want a short daily briefing rather than a long weekly one. Related list: best cybersecurity podcasts.
