Top cybersecurity industry professionals share knowledge and experience on podcast
The popular cybersecurity podcast, Security Masterminds, is on a mission to discuss and dissect the most pressing issues and trends across the industry with the goal to educate, provide insights, best practices and strategies to prevent organizations and individuals from falling victim to cybersecurity attacks. 
Security Masterminds delivers a new episode every month and dives deep into topics relating to the various disciplines that make up cybersecurity and their respective nuances with each episode featuring one guest who has a laser focus on one particular topic or aspect of the industry.
Since its first episode aired in December 2021, hosts Jelle Wieringa and Erich Kron, both Security Awareness Advocates at KnowBe4, together with industry expert guests, have discussed topics such as security culture, women in cybersecurity, social engineering, blockchain, burnout and recovery, human risk behaviors and so much more. In addition to talking facts, trends, and insights, guests also open up about real life scenarios and situations that they have witnessed and experienced. The unique format of Security Masterminds, which shares actionable insights from the trenches of the cybersecurity industry, keeps listeners engaged, learning from different viewpoints presented by guests and hosts alike.
“It turns out that people almost always have far deeper and cooler stories to tell if only you give them the opportunity to do so. There is so much that we can learn from each other. We all have different viewpoints and valid opinions that give our listeners some actionable insight. The key is to allow ourselves to listen,” commented Wieringa when asked about his favorite part of being the co-host of the podcast.
Security Masterminds boasts two seasons and 23 episodes with expert guests like Naomi Buckwalter, Clint Bodungen, Nicole Dove, Stas Bajoukha, Roger Grimes, Quentin Taylor, Anna Collard, Thom Langford and others. The team behind Security Masterminds started recording season three, so stay tuned for more exciting guests and discussions. The podcast can be enjoyed on most music and podcast streaming platforms.
“There have been so many memorable moments with awesome guests, I cannot pick a single one, however, something I love about this podcast is the guests we have. I cannot think of any episode where I did not end the interview really thinking about what the guest had to say,” commented Kron.
