@RISK provides a reliable weekly summary of (1) newly discovered attack vectors, (2) vulnerabilities with active new exploits, (3) insightful explanations of how recent attacks worked, and other valuable data
A key purpose of the @RISK is to provide the data that will ensure that the 20 Critical Controls (the US and UK benchmark for effective protection of networked systems) continue to be the most effective defenses for all known attack vectors. But since it is also valuable for security practitioners, SANS is making it available to the 145,000 security practitioners who have completed SANS security training and others at their organizations who hope to stay current with the offensive methods in use.

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES
SELECTED BY THE TALOS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM
Title: Adobe Releases Emergency to Patch Zero Day Under Active
Exploitation in the Wild
Description: Adobe released an out-of-band patch to address
CVE-2015-3113, a Flash Player zero-day vulnerability that is actively
being used by an APT group. The exploit has been ongoing since early
this month via phishing emails and affects Windows, Mac, and Linux
users. CVE-2015-3113 is a vulnerability in the way Flash parses Flash
Video Files (FLV). The exploit bypasses memory-based protection such
as ASLR and uses return-oriented programming (ROP) to bypass data
execution prevention (DEP).
