About Cleartext
A daily cybersecurity briefing for CISOs, security leaders, and anyone who needs to stay current on the threat landscape — without spending an hour reading headlines.
What is Cleartext?
Cleartext is an automated daily security podcast that monitors dozens of top cybersecurity news sources, curates the most relevant stories, and delivers a concise briefing every weekday morning. Each episode is produced fresh, so you always get today's news — not yesterday's.
On Saturdays, we publish a Week in Review episode that synthesizes the major themes and developments from the past five days — ideal for busy executives who catch up on weekends.
