Video: How Talos’ open-source tools can assist anyone looking to improve their security resilience
Summary: Cisco Talos says it offers 27 open-source security tools, free to download from talosintelligence.com/software and GitHub, for anyone in the security community to use or develop within their security operations. Its best-known tool is Snort, an intrusion prevention and detection system that uses the same engine included in Cisco Secure Firewall and can be downloaded to protect against network attacks or to build custom rules.
Key Takeaway: Snort's engine is the same one running inside Cisco Secure Firewall, so the detection logic defending your network is available for anyone, including attackers, to download and study.
