CyberWire Daily
Editorial pickHosted by Dave Bittner
Daily 20-minute briefing on the cybersecurity news that actually moved markets, regulators, or attackers.
Editorial take
If you only have time for one cybersecurity podcast and you want to stay current rather than entertained, this is it. Dave Bittner reads the news the way a wire-service editor would, separating noise (yet another phishing kit) from signal (a CVE that will be in every Patch Tuesday next month). The interview segments at the end occasionally pad the runtime, skip them when busy. Daily cadence keeps you honest about where time goes.
Last hand-checked 2026-05-15, Daily cadence Monday-Friday plus weekly long-form 'Caveat' and 'Hacking Humans' from the same network.
Listen if you …
- work in or sell to cybersecurity and need the daily news pulse
- prefer a tight 20-minute brief to long-form storytelling
- want a vendor-neutral source for situational awareness
Skip if you …
- you want analysis or technical depth, this is news-of-record, not research
- you already follow a security-focused newsletter that covers the same beats
About the show
The CyberWire produces the cybersecurity industry's de facto daily news brief. Dave Bittner anchors with a tight, neutral-voice summary of overnight breaches, government actions, vendor news, and CVE disclosures.
The shape rarely changes day-to-day, which is exactly the point, you build the habit and the format never gets in the way.
