Project Aspis
Summary: Cisco Talos announced Project Aspis, a no-cost program that helps hosting providers deal with persistent malicious actors by sharing forensics, reverse engineering, threat intelligence, and in some cases a dedicated research engineer. The program follows a joint investigation with Limestone Networks, which had fought the same actor for months at a cost of roughly $10,000 a month in fraudulent charges plus wasted engineering time, until rapid identification and termination of the actor's systems pushed it off the network.
What you should know: One actor was costing a single hosting provider about $10,000 a month in fraudulent charges before the two teams combined efforts, and hosting providers can request the same help at project-aspis@external.cisco.com.
