BarCode is a cybersecurity podcast created by Chris Glanden, a veteran security professional focused on Security Systems, breakthroughs, vulnerabilities, their mitigation and risk management.

Conceptualized in September 2020 amongst the Covid pandemic, Glanden designed BarCode to become an alternative way to continue the social and educational elements of industry happy hours, technical meet-ups and security conference peer interaction.

The podcast features in-depth interviews with worldwide leadership, experts, hackers, ex-cybercriminals, and icons of the industry. Each episode contains a short sketch featuring Glanden and a virtual bartender, who pours a different cocktail (while disclosing the recipe) prior to the guest's introduction. It then switches to an interview-format conversation. The show concludes with the guest being asked hypothetically, what would they name their own cybersecurity bar and what would their signature drink include.

The 1 hour program often includes a notable co-host, and is distributed via its main podcast RSS feed and on the BarCode Security offical website. In addition to audio, text transcriptions are also published.

The official website also features a DrinkDB that lists the drink recipes from each episode as well as a VenueDB which lists bars that guests recommend.

It has been featured in numerous media outlets and has won multiple awards, including the 2021 Peoples Choice Podcast Award in Technology and as a 2022 finalist for the same award.
