Securing the keys to the kingdom: Announcing Executive Threat Detection
Summary: Cisco Talos Incident Response announced Executive Threat Detection (ETD), a retainer-based proactive service that provides monthly, human-led threat hunting and intelligence analysis focused on executive assets. The service pairs an outside-in OSINT review of threats targeting executive personas with hunts run through a customer's existing security tools, and customers can shift retainer hours to an Emergency Response engagement if a hunt uncovers a critical incident.
What's compelling: Talos notes that the low-and-slow techniques used to compromise a CEO or CFO can be lost in the noise of a 10,000-endpoint environment, where EDR is tuned for the average user profile - and an executive account typically holds elevated access to financial data, intellectual property, and strategic roadmap communications.
