Editorial take

Hacking Humans is the cybersecurity podcast you can share with your sales team without losing them in jargon. The format, two hosts breaking down a phishing or social-engineering story per week, is consistently approachable. Dave Bittner brings his CyberWire production sensibility; Joe Carrigan adds the technical context. Use it to build the security-awareness intuition that doesn't come from reading CVEs.

Listen if you …

  • you work in or sell to security awareness training programs
  • you want accessible coverage of phishing and social engineering tactics
  • you need material to share with non-security colleagues

Skip if you …

  • you want technical depth on malware or vulnerability exploitation
  • you prefer single-host narrative to two-host conversation

About the show

Hacking Humans is produced by The CyberWire network. Dave Bittner (CyberWire) and Joe Carrigan (Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute) host the weekly examination of social engineering, phishing campaigns, and the human side of security.

The show benefits from CyberWire's production discipline and KnowBe4's involvement, which keeps the practical security-awareness angle anchored to real-world attack patterns.
