Beers with Talos, Ep. #112: A new host approaches!

Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 112 introduces Liz Waddell of Cisco Talos Incident Response as a new host, discussing ransomware-as-a-service group activity and why so many actors' playbooks are circulating publicly. The episode was recorded before the Log4J vulnerability disclosures, and Talos said it would release an emergency episode on Log4J later that week.

Key Takeaway: The episode points to ransomware-as-a-service playbooks leaking into the wild, which lowers the barrier for actors who never had to write their own tooling.
