Why a Cisco Talos Incident Response Retainer is a game-changer

Summary: Cisco Talos published a promotional piece describing its Incident Response Retainer, which provides a direct line to Cisco cybersecurity specialists, 24/7 emergency support, and access to its global threat intelligence and hundreds of threat intelligence researchers. The article also cites Talos IR findings that phishing remained the leading initial access technique, ransomware and pre-ransomware cases increased as a percentage, and finance and public administration tied as the top-targeted industries.

What you should know: The vendor's own incident data puts phishing first and shows ransomware and pre-ransomware cases rising, with finance and public administration tied as the most-targeted sectors - a reminder that initial access is still largely a people-and-email problem, not an exotic one.
