Overview

Modern adversaries are relentless as today’s threat actors target organizations around the world via sophisticated cyberattacks. Who are they? What are they after? And most importantly, how can you defend against them? The Adversary Universe podcast is where CrowdStrike answers all of these questions — and more. Our hosts, a pioneer in adversary intelligence and a specialist in cybersecurity technology, unmask the threat actors targeting organizations. On a bi-weekly cadence, The Adversary Universe Podcast dive into findings from CrowdStrike’s rich dataset and view of adversary tradecraft to inform listeners on how to track and learn from adversaries — and ultimately stop them.

The Adversary Universe Podcast is truly unique in its approach when it comes to the caliber of its hosts, guests and topics. Nowhere else will you find hosts like Adam Meyers, head of Counter Adversary Operations and Cristian Rodriguez, field CTO of the Americas, as they unmask the threat actors potentially targeting businesses, agencies and governments spanning the globe. Through witty banter, hilarious anecdotes and extensive knowledge of the space, Adam and Cristian bring listeners on a journey to uncover what today’s biggest cyber threats are, and how to stop breaches from occurring.

Since the founding of CrowdStrike in 2011, the company has relentlessly pursued adversaries — from sophisticated cybercriminals to advanced nation-state actors and politically motivated hacktivist groups. At its inception, CrowdStrike adopted the mantra “you don’t have a malware problem, you have an adversary problem”. This remains the foundation of everything the company puts forward, from its industry-leading technology to its groundbreaking approach to better inform customers about the threat landscape and with the Adversary Universe Podcast.

Key Capabilities / Features

Since its inception, the Adversary Universe Podcast has explored key topic areas ranging from ‘The Big Four’ nation-state threats (Russia, China, Iran and North Korea), the importance of securing election infrastructure during the 2024 election cycle, how organizations should respond to a cyberattack, and more. Additionally, we’ve honed in on breaking news such as the recent Microsoft government breach, the infamous Sony Hack by DPRK threat actors, and the new onslaught of SEC cybersecurity regulations. Guests of the podcast have joined Adam and Cristian with a wide variety of backgrounds including prior Bureau executives, leaders in education, healthcare experts and even a cybercriminal behavioral analyst.


The Adversary Universe is made up of hundreds of actors constantly evolving to become faster and more sophisticated. It is our end goal to track them, learn from them, and share those findings to better inform the public in an effort to stay safe.


In parallel with each episode, CrowdStrike provides show notes and resources to help provide additional findings in an effort to guide listeners as they establish cybersecurity best practices.


How we are different

- No other cybersecurity company provides a podcast that truly focuses on the motivations and behaviors of today’s adversaries. The Adversary Universe Podcast helps listeners take a more informed and proactive approach to cybersecurity. While other vendors in the security space purely try to push product updates and news in their podcasts, CrowdStrike approaches its podcast from a thought leadership perspective.


- Aimed at informing security practitioners all the way up to the C-suite, as well as everyday listeners with an interest in cybersecurity, the Adversary Universe Podcast dives deep into the tactics, techniques and procedures of attackers and their operations to inform listeners about their capabilities and motivations. We use the unique insights of both of our hosts — a pioneer in adversary intelligence and a specialist in cybersecurity technology — to provide guidance to listeners (even the less cyber-savvy ones) and break down the intricacies of major hacks. The podcast makes cybersecurity accessible to the masses so even those outside the industry can find it insightful and relevant.


- The expertise of our hosts, combined with CrowdStrike’s rich dataset, enables us to keep our listeners informed with the most up-to-date information on where adversaries operate, which data and assets they target, and most importantly, how to implement a strong defense in today’s sophisticated threat landscape.
