2025 Cyber Attack Playbooks: Navigating the Future Threat Landscape

This podcast delves into the critical insights found within the 2025 Cybersecurity Attacks Playbooks, exploring the diverse and evolving threat landscape organizations face. We examine playbooks covering threats from AI-enhanced phishing and advanced ransomware to the complexities of supply chain compromises, zero-day exploits, and AI-powered malware. We also discuss emerging threats like deepfake social engineering, quantum computing vulnerabilities, and securing IoT devices. Each episode breaks down the essential stages outlined in the playbooks for specific attacks: Preparation to build foundational defenses, Detection to identify threat indicators, Analysis to understand the attack's scope and methods, Containment/Eradication tailored to the specific threat vector, and Recovery to restore operations and resilience. Gain a deeper understanding of modern attack vectors like credential stuffing, fileless malware, rogue access points, SQL injection, steganography-based data exfiltration, and cache poisoning, as well as network attacks like homograph attacks, Denial-of-Service (DoS), and watering hole attacks, and complex infiltrations like island hopping and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Tune in to learn how the playbooks guide organizations through detection, response, and the vital Lessons Learned process to continuously improve their cybersecurity posture.
