Talos Quarterly Threat Briefing - Winter 2018
Summary: Cisco Talos announced a Winter 2018 Quarterly Threat Briefing webinar in which Nick Biasini will discuss the most prevalent and damaging threats of the prior quarter, covering targeted attacks, Necurs, and the shift to malicious mining. Talos notes Biasini's prior work exposing the Angler exploit kit, identifying Domain Shadowing, helping stop large-scale exploit kit campaigns, and revealing spam campaigns that delivered malware.
Bottom line: The briefing's agenda names Necurs and the shift to malicious mining as the quarter's headline threats, so the question for your team is whether your detection coverage and endpoint controls were tuned for those two campaigns or still reflect last year's priorities.
