Talos Takes: 2025 insights from Talos and Splunk
Summary: Cisco Talos and Splunk released their 2025 Year in Review and Top 50 Cybersecurity Threats reports, drawing on Cisco telemetry, Talos original research, and Talos Incident Response engagements. The findings cover the professionalization of ransomware-as-a-service, decade-old vulnerabilities that persist, and attackers targeting weaknesses in MFA workflows and using valid, compromised credentials to send phishing lures from trusted accounts.
What's compelling: The report's trends center on trust in everyday business operations, and the phishing pattern it names - lures sent from legitimate, compromised accounts - means the trusted sender is no longer a reliable signal for your users or your filters.
