The Cybersecurity Readiness podcast is one of the most comprehensive podcasts on the subject. Dave invites guests from a wide variety of backgrounds and covers a wide range of topics on Cybersecurity. There are practitioners to forensic experts, corporate executives to professionals with government experiences. Dave makes the conversations interesting and insightful, and I am sure he spends a lot of time preparing for these. The episodes cover the macro to the micro of cybersecurity, and I would highly recommend it to everyone; whether you are a student, cyber professional, executive or simply someone trying to get familiar with the different facets of cybersecurity.

I have had the pleasure of regularly tuning into Dr. Dave Chatterjee’s Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, which has been instrumental in enhancing my understanding of cybersecurity, particularly in the realm of large language models (LLMs). Dr. Chatterjee’s insightful discussion on LLM security risks and mitigation strategies provided me with valuable guidance that directly impacted my work. Thanks to his expertise, I successfully implemented critical safeguards in my projects, including mechanisms to halt the execution of vulnerable SQL and Python code generated by LLMs. His ability to distill complex concepts into actionable advice is truly commendable and has made a significant difference in my approach to securing LLM applications. I am immensely grateful for Dr. Chatterjee’s contributions to the cybersecurity community and eagerly anticipate future episodes.
