Editorial take
A short news show built for the people who sign off on security budgets, not the people who run the tools. David Shipley, CEO of the awareness-training firm Beauceron Security, now hosts most of the ten to fifteen minute weekday episodes. He covers three or four stories and says plainly what they mean for a business. Jim Love, the show's longtime host, now leads a monthly review panel with Shipley and Laura Payne. The weekend interviews are the hidden value: Katie Moussouris on AI and bug bounties, Erin West on scam economics. The Canadian lens is a plus if you work there and a quirk if you do not. Technical depth is limited by design.
Last hand-checked 2026-09-30, Host changed: David Shipley now presents most daily episodes; Jim Love leads the monthly panel.
