Introduction

In the cyber security space, one of the accepted realities is that to stay relevant, you must be constantly learning. Whether this is learning a new field, tool, or even just staying abreast of the latest emerging threats, you must always be learning. However, sometimes finding quality content to learn from can be tricky, especially if you want to learn efficiently and effectively. That is why more and more professionals are turning to video-based content, as it not only allows for a more prescriptive training, but it also makes the training easier to follow for the novice. That is why we’ve put together a list of the 80 best cybersecurity YouTube channels that you can subscribe to and continue learning!

What makes cyber security so unique is that so much of how we learn is informal and community driven. That is why it is so important to recognize the hard work that the community has put into the field and encourage further contributions to keep it moving forward.

That is why we’ve put together this list: to highlight the amazing work that the community produces every single day!

We would also like to give a huge shout out to Daniel Kelley for some of the great input for this list!
