For the info-sec curious and experts alike!
This past year, I had vowed to explore all of my interests and see where it would take me after spending a few years establishing my current career. After exploring everything from cooking, decorating, languages, I came upon cybersecurity, which peaked my interest. For my work commute, I decided to listen to podcasts in order to explore this field. After episode 65 (Human Side Channels), I realized that I enjoy it so much because of my background in linguistics and forensic linguistics! If you are interested in crime, history, cybersecurity, technology, and psychology, this podcast is for you. Whether you are a beginner or a cybersecurity expert, Ran Levi explains the history and current topics in cybersecurity in a way that you can understand. Thanks for my holiday binge!
