Three Buddy Problem

by Security Conversations

The Three Buddy Problem is a popular Security Conversations podcast that goes beyond industry talking points to discuss what others won’t -- nation-state malware, attribution, cyberwar, ethics, privacy, and the messy realities of securing computers and corporate networks. Hosted by three veteran security pros -- journalist Ryan Naraine and malware paleontologists Costin Raiu and Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade -- the weekly show attracts a highly engaged audience of security researchers, corporate defenders, CISOs, and policymakers. Connect with Ryan on Twitter (Open DMs).

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Smart takes and more accurate understanding than most cybersec podcasts. Good personalities.

Laughedoutloud · Dec 2025

The only podcast I listen to at 1x. Thoughtful, insightful, occasionally profane, always erudite.

mjg5772 · May 2025

Excellent, well articulated, thought provoking conversations. It has quickly made it onto my “must listen” list.

Chris Mc.38 · Dec 2024

Ry, JAGS and Costin are insightful, enlightening and entertaining. This cybersecurity podcast is the best in the industry. The guys manage to dissect the most prominent cyber incidents and news happenings in the world with knowledge, truth and expert opinion. Totally recommended for anyone in the industry and for folks who want to learn more about cybersecurity.

AA13AA13 · Aug 2024

I have found the topics and guests to be extremely fascinating and helpful. However, Ryan (the host) is constantly inturrupting, talking over, and derailing the conversations. He is trying to act journalistic, but just comes off as rude and egocentric.
