Threat Update: COVID-19
Summary: Cisco Talos reported it is monitoring attacks that use COVID-19 themes and is detecting and blocking malicious domains, spam and phishing tied to them. Talos shared that intelligence through its AEGIS program, law enforcement and government partnerships, and the Cyber Threat Alliance, and recommended customers review incident response plans and practice them in tabletop exercises.
What you should know: Talos's guidance rests on remote workers applying the same precautions they used in the office - locking screens, using trusted WiFi, keeping corporate data on corporate assets - which assumes protections built for the office still function in a newly remote environment.
