Threat Source newsletter (Nov. 21, 2019)
Summary: Cisco Talos' Threat Source newsletter for Nov. 21, 2019 reports that in Q4 of Cisco's fiscal year its Incident Response analysts mainly saw ransomware and cryptocurrency miners in the wild. The same edition announces a new cyber range, included with any IR retainer, that trains employees to avoid common scams that can lead to malware infection.
What's compelling: Talos IR's own casework put ransomware and cryptocurrency miners at the top of the threat list for the quarter, and the firm's response was to bundle scam-awareness training into its retainer - a reminder that the infection path often runs through an employee rather than the perimeter.
