Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast

Microsoft's threat intelligence team spends its days tracking APT groups, zero-days, and cybercrime operations across a staggeringly large attack surface. This podcast lets you listen in on those conversations. Hosted by Sherrod DeGrippo, who previously led threat research at Proofpoint, the show brings on Microsoft security researchers to break down what they are actually seeing in the wild. Now in its third season with 64 episodes, it runs biweekly and holds a perfect 5.0 rating on Apple Podcasts (though from a smaller review pool of 23). Episodes range from around 25 minutes to over an hour, depending on how deep the topic goes. Recent coverage has included AI-powered attack techniques, ransomware targeting financial services, threats to power grid infrastructure, and the ethics of responsible disclosure. DeGrippo is a sharp interviewer who knows when to push for specifics. The guests are not marketing people reading talking points -- they are the analysts who named the threat groups and wrote the technical reports. You get details about TTPs, infrastructure patterns, and attribution reasoning that you would normally only find buried in a PDF threat report. The Microsoft branding might make you expect a sales pitch, but the show stays focused on the intelligence side. It is one of the better sources for understanding how a major defender sees the threat environment right now.
