What happens when you engage Cisco Talos Incident Response?
Summary: Cisco Talos Incident Response describes its engagement process as following a structured lifecycle based on frameworks such as NIST SP 800-61 or the SANS Institute's model, moving through preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery and a final lessons-learned phase. Its emergency response team is available 24/7 by phone or email, deploys a team led by an Incident Commander supported by responders, threat analysts and project managers, and provides an initial assessment of incident severity with daily updates.
Bottom line: Talos notes that a single overlooked persistence mechanism, such as an adversary's use of Cobalt Strike, is enough to let the attacker back in later, which is why it verifies eradication through a thorough forensic review before closing that phase.
