A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of Social engineering - the shows and 10 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Social engineering remains one of the most effective attack vectors in cybersecurity, exploiting human behavior rather than technical vulnerabilities. These episodes explore real-world cases - including a 15-year-old who stole $26M - alongside expert guidance on threat hunting in developer environments and how leaders can protect their organizations from costly breaches. The coverage ranges from tactical security practices to strategic advice for building wealth and influence while avoiding the social engineering traps that compromise bank accounts and enterprise systems.
