048. Codebreakers & Trailblazers: Black Pioneers in Cybersecurity

In this special Black History Month episode, we honor the Black pioneers who shaped cybersecurity and cryptology. From Carroll Robinson, NSA’s first Black engineer, to Debora Plunkett, a modern cybersecurity leader, these trailblazers broke barriers, safeguarded national security, and paved the way for future generations.


Their contributions aren’t just history—they’re the foundation of our future. Join us as we celebrate their lasting impact.


Topics discussed: Black history, American history, Invisible Cryptologists, Arlington Hall, NSA, World War II, cybersecurity, cryptology
