@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: Symantec Patches Several Major Security Vulnerabilities in its Anti-Malware Products Description: Symantec has released a security advisory to address multiple vulnerabilities that have been identified by Tavis Ormandy of Google Project Zero in the core engine used by Symantec's anti-malware software, such as Norton Antivirus and Symantec Endpoint Protection. The most severe vulnerability is described as potentially "wormable" and could lead to remote code execution in the kernel on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Several other major vulnerabilities were also enumerated and addressed. Users and administrators are advised to patch their systems as soon as possible. Reference: http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/how-to-compromise-enterprise-endpoint.html https://www.symantec.com/security_response/securityupdates/detail.jsp?fid=security_advisory&pvid=security_advisory&year=&suid=20160628_00 Snort SID: Detection pending release of vulnerability information
Title: Vulnerabilities in libarchive Patched Description: Researchers at Cisco Talos have identified several vulnerabilities in libarchive, a file archive and decompression library which is commonly used. All three vulnerabilities are potentially arbitrary code execution flaws with one being an integer overflow, another a stack-based buffer overflow, and the final one being a heap overflow. All three vulnerabilities have been patched within the source code. Reference: http://blog.talosintel.com/2016/06/the-poisoned-archives.html Snort SID: 39034-39035, 39045-39046
