Protecting major events: an incident response blueprint

Summary: Cisco Talos Incident Response published a white paper laying out ten focus areas to guide organizing committees and participating businesses in securing major events such as sports, conferences, and expos, with involvement from vendors, hospitality teams, and service providers. The same text states that phishing remained the leading initial access technique, that the percentage of ransomware and pre-ransomware cases increased, and that finance and public administration tied as the top-targeted industries.

What you should know: Phishing is still the way attackers get in, and the share of ransomware and pre-ransomware cases rose - a stake that lands hardest on the finance and public administration sectors named as the top targets.
