  • Excellent podcast to understand the risks and benefits of the IT industry

    I’ve listened to Security Now for about 10 years. Steve does an excellent job of explaining and deciphering some of the more technical elements which makes the content more accessible to someone like me who isn’t an IT professional. The discussion is wide ranging, informative and fun. Highly recommended

  • Weekly in-depeth analysis of security and privacy news. Generally easy to listen to with the occasional 'deep dive' featuring more technical detail.

  • To long

    I’m a long time fan, but the show is just to long. Plus, I can’t handle the same old jokes (what could possibly go wrong). Not to mention they have to beat a dead horse about Show #1000.

    I’m done, very good security information, but way to much of fluff.
