Beers with Talos, Ep. #110: The 10 most-exploited vulnerabilities this year (You won't believe No. 6!)
Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 110 discusses a recently released CISA list of the vulnerabilities most often exploited in the wild, comparing the 2020 and 2021 lists to show how threat actors changed their tactics. The hosts also question how helpful these types of reports are to defenders, and the episode covers writing Snort rules for Y2K-era malware.
What you should know: CISA's ranking of the most-exploited vulnerabilities is a direct signal of what attackers are actually using, so a defender who ignores the year-over-year shift between the 2020 and 2021 lists is planning against last year's tactics.
