Trying to keep up with cybersecurity can feel like drinking from a firehose. For any CISO, CTO, or IT leader, cutting through the noise to find genuinely useful information is a real challenge. Podcasts are a brilliant way to gather intelligence and fresh perspectives on the move. They provide the crucial first step: absorbing new ideas.
Leaders in the Ortus roundtables are constantly absorbing information to stay ahead. That’s why we’ve curated this list. These aren’t just the most popular cybersecurity podcasts; they are the shows whose topics consistently echo the challenges and strategic conversations happening right now in our own executive roundtables. Think of this as your pre-briefing for the critical discussions that will define 2025.
A10 Networks – The Security Strategist
A10 Networks podcast is all about the intersection of high performance and iron-clad security, a balancing act every leader in our network knows well. It offers practical, strategic advice on defending complex multi-cloud environments, making it a source of valuable ideas that executives often bring to the table.
Arkose Labs – The Bot and Fraud Podcast
The sheer scale and sophistication of online fraud is a recurring theme in our discussions. Arkose Labs podcast provides a stark look at the economics and tactics of cybercrime, offering the kind of deep context that helps leaders understand the business impact of the threats they face.
Bitsight – The Security Scorecard Podcast
Third-party risk is a massive challenge, and a topic that frequently dominates our CISO roundtables. Bitsight’s podcast is an excellent primer on using data to manage supply chain vulnerabilities. It provides the perfect starting point, but the real strategies are built in conversation. This is a classic Ortus roundtable topic, where we bring leaders together to share their frameworks for building resilient vendor ecosystems.
BlueVoyant – Cybersecurity Insights
Cybersecurity Insights by BlueVoyant is brilliant at translating complex technical threats into the language of business risk, a skill essential for every CISO. It’s precisely the kind of strategic thinking that becomes powerful when it’s shared and validated. We see leaders bring these very topics to an Ortus discussion to get honest, real-world feedback from peers who have faced the same boardroom questions.
Cloudflare – TechTalks / This Week in NET
Understanding the fundamental architecture of the internet is crucial for any forward-looking technology leader. Cloudflare’s podcasts are a direct line into the future of the web, performance, and security. The insights here often form the technical underpinning of the business strategy discussions we facilitate.
CrowdStrike – The CrowdStrike Podcast / Adversary Universe
To build a great defence, you need to understand your enemy. The deep dives into threat actor groups in CrowdStrike’s Adversary Universe are invaluable. This is the level of granular detail that informs the high-level threat modelling and resource allocation debates we hear in Ortus roundtables.
Fortinet – FortiGuard Labs Global Threat Landscape Podcast
For busy leaders, a concise, data-driven briefing is essential. Fortinet’s podcast delivers exactly that, a weekly dose of actionable intelligence. It’s the kind of information that ensures the executives in our community come to every discussion armed with the latest ground-truth data.
Okta – The State of Access
Today’s big strategic question isn’t just about security; it’s about how to securely enable the business to move faster. Okta’s podcast nails this conversation, focusing on how modern identity, Zero Trust, and passwordless access are core to digital transformation. This directly mirrors the conversations we host at Ortus, where CIOs and CISOs share invaluable, real-world lessons on using identity to accelerate growth without increasing risk.

SailPoint – The Identity Standard
If Okta handles the “getting in,” SailPoint tackles the equally critical and far more complex question: “access to what?” Their podcast dives into identity governance, a discipline essential for compliance and managing risk. This topic is a constant in our Ortus roundtables because it’s less about a single product and more about a complex operational strategy. Leaders in our community consistently find immense value in working through these governance challenges together.
Trustwave – SpiderLabs Podcast
Understanding the attacker’s mindset is a powerful advantage. Trustwave’s podcast, hosted by a world-class team of ethical hackers, gives a raw look at how vulnerabilities are actually exploited, providing the kind of perspective that helps leaders ask tougher, better questions of their own teams.
Veracode – Securing the Software Supply Chain / Code Security
Software supply chain security is now a board-level concern. Veracode’s content addresses this head-on. The challenge of securing code you don’t control is a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted strategy, the very kind of strategy that is pressure-tested and refined in Ortus discussions.
Verkada – Verkada Security Podcast
The convergence of physical and digital security is a growing responsibility for many CISOs. Verkada’s podcast uniquely explores that intersection, mirroring the expanding scope of the C-level security roles we see within our executive community.
From Podcast Insights to the Ortus Roundtable Experience
The best podcasts provide the fuel for progress, the data, ideas, and expert opinions that spark critical questions. But the real engine of progress is conversation, and at The Ortus Club, we build that engine. We create the specific, confidential environment where knowledge becomes wisdom. Whether it’s dissecting a complex challenge in an Ortus roundtable or exchanging candid advice in our exclusive The Ortus Club’s CTO Chat, we provide the forum where you can solve problems with peers who truly understand the stakes. So, the next time a podcast leaves you wondering, “How would this work in my organisation?” or “I wonder how my peers are handling this?”, remember that’s where our work begins. The Ortus community is where those questions get answered, and if you’re ready to move beyond listening and start solving, you’re ready to join the conversation.
