Certified: The GIAC GLEG Audio Course

Welcome to Certified: The GIAC GLEG Certification Audio Course. I’m your guide for this series, and my job is to make the legal side of cybersecurity feel clear, practical, and usable, even if you’ve never taken a law class. In the real world, security work doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The moment an incident becomes an investigation, or a monitoring tool becomes a privacy concern, legal rules start shaping what you can do and how you should document it. In this course, we’ll connect the law of data security and investigations to the decisions you make in policy, compliance, incident response, and evidence handling. Expect focused episodes, plain-English explanations, and a steady emphasis on defensible actions that stand up to review.

To get the most from Certified: The GIAC GLEG Certification Audio Course, treat each episode like a short, repeatable study session. Listen once for understanding, then replay key episodes while taking a few quick notes on definitions, decision points, and the “why” behind each concept. If you’re studying for the exam, build a habit of pausing after an episode and summarizing the main idea in your own words, like you’re briefing a teammate. If you’re applying this at work, think about where your organization collects data, stores evidence, writes policies, or handles investigations, and map the lesson to those workflows. New episodes are easier to use when they show up automatically, so follow the show and keep it in your regular rotation. Subscribe wherever you get podcasts.
