Cisco Talos launched Executive Threat Detection, monthly human-led hunts for stealthy attacks on executives.

Cisco Talos Incident Response launched Executive Threat Detection, a retainer covering up to 10 principals with monthly human-led hunting. Analysts review open-source intelligence, then run baseline hunts for living-off-the-land anomalies and emerging-threat hunts using campaign indicators on executive corporate systems. The service also watches for signs that an executive's corporate information was leaked. Subscribers receive a technical report, a leadership threat brief, and remediation advice, and hunt hours can shift to emergency response if a compromise is found.

Key facts
  • The retainer covers up to 10 executives with monthly human-led hunts.
  • Hunts look for whaling, MFA-bypass phishing, and living-off-the-land activity.
  • Analysts add OSINT and monitoring for leaked executive corporate data.
  • Critical findings can convert retainer hours into Talos emergency response.
