Threat Source newsletter (Jan. 9, 2019)
Summary: Cisco Talos' Threat Source newsletter says readers have asked whether they should worry about cyber attacks from Iran after missile strikes were exchanged with the U.S., and Talos' answer is that if you haven't already been preparing for state-sponsored actors, it is already too late. The same edition covers a Beers with Talos episode on the top threats of 2019, a Talos talk at Cisco Live Barcelona from Jan. 27 to 31, and an initiative to add a formal IT Security apprenticeship program in Germany.
Key Takeaway: Talos' position is that preparation for state-sponsored attacks cannot be started after tensions spike, so the relevant question is what was already in place before the Iran exchange.
