Threat Source newsletter (Jan. 19, 2023): Talent retention and institutional knowledge
Summary: Cisco Talos's Threat Source newsletter for Jan. 19, 2023 argues that talent retention and institutional knowledge are critical to network security, urging managers to show respect and find budget for training and growth. The same edition reports that Yum Brands confirmed a ransomware attack that took some systems offline and closed roughly 300 UK restaurants for 24 hours, and cites research showing sharp year-over-year growth in initial access brokers operating on underground forums.
Why it matters: The newsletter's own reporting shows the market that sells entry into enterprise networks is growing year over year, while its lead argument is that keeping experienced staff and their institutional knowledge is what protects the environment.
