Talos Vulnerability Discovery Year in Review – 2019

Introduction

Cisco Talos’ Systems Security Research Team investigates software, operating system, IOT and ICS vulnerabilities in order to discover them before malicious threat actors do. We provide this information to the affected vendors so that they can create patches and protect their customers as soon as possible. We strive to improve the security of our customers with detection content, which protects them while the vendor is creating, testing, and delivering the patch. These patches ultimately remove the vulnerability in question, which increases security not only for our customers but for everyone. After these patches become available, the Talos detection content becomes public, as well. Talos regularly releases executive blogs (Vulnerability Spotlights) and in-depth analyses of vulnerabilities discovered by us. You can find all of the release information via the Talos Vulnerability Information page here.
