Cyber Heroes ran from February 2021 to April 2022 and consists of 52 episodes plus a few extra deep dives. Towards the end, for example, extra attention was given to Ukraine, which had just gone to war with Russia. The podcast ended about three years ago, but is still incredibly relevant despite the rapid changes in the landscape. This is of course due to Prins, who has been at the forefront of cybersecurity for almost 30 years, but also because it can now serve as a kind of mirror. What was the state of cybersecurity 3 or 4 years ago, how did we think about certain topics like AI and how has that completely changed now? You learn by listening.
Between expertise and humanity
The strength of Cyber Heroes lies in the combination of expertise, current threat analyses, and human stories. The conversations are technical enough to remain relevant for IT professionals, but accessible enough to also involve policymakers and C-level executives in today's challenges.
Practical insights for the workplace
In episodes covering topics such as ransomware attacks, the impact of NIS2, and the role of red teaming, strategies are discussed that are directly applicable within business IT environments. The podcast also provides valuable insights into how organizations can learn from incidents, and how security becomes a shared responsibility.
Cyber Heroes offers a look behind the headlines and can inspire, alarm, or simply inform IT professionals, security specialists, and business decision-makers. In about half an hour, you are completely up to date - or, well, that depends on how well you can mirror. The podcast can be found on your favorite podcast app or on the site.
