In fact, it’s arguably more important for cyber security professionals to stay informed than some other professions as news of recent and imminent threats are published daily, technologies change and evolve at what seems like the speed of light, and, if you work in IT, you’re the last line of defense.
Given the nature of the work, it’s imperative that your go-to sources are credible, reliable, and useful. So, whether you’re just starting out or need a few new titles to add to your daily digest, here are five media sources every cyber security professional should be keeping up with.
With over 8 million monthly readers and 4,650,000+ followers and subscribers on social media, The Hacker News is one of the biggest (and most recognised) information security channels in the industry. THN was started back in 2010 with a goal to ‘help educate people on how to use the Internet in the safest way’ and now, it’s trusted by IT professionals, hackers, and researchers around the world.

Unlike some other sources that report on IT news, Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs breaks IT news. He started blogging in 2005 after suffering a hack himself back in 2001 and now, is one of the most notorious names in cyber security. While the blog might not be as well-organised as other more traditional media sources, the reporting is engaging and in-depth. The focus is on online crime investigations including security updates in the hacking world, data breaches, and cybercrime groups.
