CyberWire Daily

If you work in cybersecurity and only have time for one daily news podcast, CyberWire Daily is the one. Hosted by Dave Bittner, this weekday show from N2K Networks packs the day's most important security news into digestible episodes that typically run 20 to 30 minutes. Bittner has a broadcast journalist's delivery — polished, authoritative, but never stuffy — and he moves through headlines at a pace that respects your time. The show has been running since 2016 and has racked up over 2,000 episodes. Each one follows a consistent structure: a rapid-fire rundown of the day's top cyber stories, followed by a deeper segment that might be an expert interview, a research breakdown, or a career-focused discussion. The recurring segments keep things fresh — Research Saturday brings on analysts to dissect new threat intelligence, while Career Notes profiles professionals at different stages of their security careers. N2K Networks built a whole ecosystem around this show, and it shows. The sourcing is solid, the analysis is measured, and Bittner knows how to ask the right follow-up questions when talking to guests. Some listeners mention the ads can pile up, which is fair, but the content between them is consistently strong. With a 4.8 star rating from over a thousand reviews, CyberWire Daily has earned its reputation as the morning briefing that security teams actually trust. It is essentially the Reuters of cybersecurity podcasting.
