Talos, Cisco Incident Response team up to offer more protection than ever

By Sean Mason

Over the years, I've had the honor and privilege to work within some of the greatest security teams on the planet, working alongside such passionate and talented people at Cisco makes delivering this announcement perhaps the greatest honor yet.

The best security organizations on the planet excel at preventing, defending, and responding, which boils down to one key aspect – an intelligence-driven approach to security.

Several years ago, Cisco Talos intelligence started to support Cisco’s Incident Response Services group, with IR feeding highly contextualized data back into the Talos Detection and Response efforts. This was key to building a market-leading, albeit standalone, incident response service offering at Cisco.

Today, we are excited to announce the next step in the evolving relationship between intelligence, research, and IR – Cisco Talos Incident Response.

As things stand now, every incident response Cisco engages in, anywhere in the world, has dedicated Talos Intelligence analysts attached to it. This ensures we capture what is happening in the real world, build protections based on what we learn, and share back our intelligence to the incident responders so they can help frame our customer’s incident in a global context.  Truly this is a win/win for everyone.

Talos has spent a lot of time over the past few years building trust with our customers by supplying highly technical security information, driving timely protections based on that research and being transparent and forthright in our communications. IR has worked with Talos for a long time, and both parties feel this new partnership expands the capability of IR to deliver on those values.
