Beers with Talos, Ep. #115: Everybody's measured by quarters — even threat actors
Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 115, recorded Jan. 14, 2022, has Matt, Mitch and Liz reflecting on 2021 with Talos Incident Response, where the common thread across many attacks was people - whether through phishing or simple human error. The episode covers why logs are crucial in a worst-case scenario and how to remove human error from the equation as much as possible.
What's compelling: Talos Incident Response's takeaway from a full year of attacks is that the common factor was people, which puts the burden on controls and logs rather than on users getting it right every time.
