@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
Title: New Method "SandJacking" Potentially Allows Attackers to Install Malicious iOS Apps Description: Chilik Tamir of mobile security firm Mi3 disclosed a previously unknown way of installing malicious iOS apps at Hack in the Box - Amsterdam. Tamir previously released a proof-of-concept tool call "Su-A-Cyder" that could be used to replace legitimate apps with malicious ones on an iOS device. Since then, he has identified a new technique called "SandJacking" that leverages the "Su-A-Cyder" method which works on the latest iOS devices. The newest method leverages the restore process. This issue has been reported to Apple, but a patch for this has not yet been released.
