FAQ
What is CyberUnplugged?
It’s your daily firewall against FOMO in the cybersecurity world. CyberUnplugged distills cutting-edge research into bite-sized, brain-boosting audio and text so you can stay ahead of the curve — no patching required.
How does it work?
Each day, we decrypt a fresh academic research paper and repackage it into a 15-minute audio episode and a written summary. It's like reverse-engineering complexity into clarity — without tripping any IDS.Short description and explanation.
When are new episodes released?
At 0600 hours (Eastern Time), we hit “deploy” — and your inbox lights up like a SIEM on a breach night. One episode, every weekday, no snooze button necessary.
How long is each episode?
Each episode is a lightweight payload: around 5–15 minutes of audio and a readable brief that’s shorter than most SOC tickets. Just enough to exploit your brain's bandwidth — not max it out.
How do you choose which research to cover?
We don’t just Google “cool cyber stuff.” Our system scans top journals and selects papers with zero-day relevance and maximum signal-to-noise ratio. Think of it as academic threat intel — minus the dry toast.
What topics do you cover?
We cover more ground than a botnet. Expect: - AI & ML in security - Cryptography (no crypto bro hype here) - Network defense - Threat hunting - Privacy engineering Red team/blue team tactics - Secure protocols - Vulnerability research - Emerging threats & zero-days Basically, if it gets a CISO’s heart racing, we’re on it.
Can I choose episodes based on my interests?
Absolutely — it’s not a WAF rule. Browse by tags, topics, or pure curiosity. You’re the human in the loop, after all. We upload a blog of all the previous episodes on our site 48 hrs after it is released. If you are interested in a previous episode, just email us at deliverman@cyberunplugged.com
How can I access the original papers?
We always link back to the original payload — usually via DOI. If it’s publicly accessible, it’s yours to read. If not, well… we’ve already cracked it open for you.
Can I sample it before subscribing?
Yes, we have 2 free samples on our website.
I’m a researcher — can you feature my work?
We love to collaborate with researchers and students. Anything that will add value to the community will be featured. Just email us with your paper and the details at deliveryman@CyberUnplugged.com
What payment methods do you accept?
All major cards via Stripe. Fast, secure, and no hidden payloads. We promise not to run curl on your bank account.
Do you offer refunds?
Like a well-written exploit, our work is carefully crafted — and final. Test the free samples, and you’ll know exactly what you’re signing up for.
Is it auto-renewed?
Yes, the membership auto-renews annually. We won’t go stealth mode on your wallet. You’ll get a reminder when it’s time to renew. Your access, your control.
