Beers with Talos, Ep. #115: Everybody's measured by quarters — even threat actors

August 12, 2022 • Mitch Neff (host), Matt Olney (speaker), and Liz Waddell (speaker)

We wanted to start off the new year by reflecting on 2021 with Talos Incident Response. The one thing many cyber attacks had in common? People.

There are issues that arise any time humans are involved, whether it’s being tempted by a phish or someone making simple human errors. So, Matt, Mitch and Liz discuss how logs are crucial during the worst-case scenario and look at how to remove human error as much as possible from the equation.

Outside of initial infection vectors, there are plenty of other lessons learned from 2021 that we can take into incident response this year.
