Episode notes

The most frequently used malware kind of jump up from what we saw last year, vegan is always going to be a main stay. We have four specific ransomware families in the top four or in the top collection of malware that we saw in investigations. And then now obviously when it comes to extortion, how long are the adversaries once they gain access to a victim environment with time to ransom? That's been a metric that has been tracked as well.

Mandiant's Kirstie Failey and Jake Nicastro join host Luke McNamara to break down the findings from the 2023 M-Trends report. Kirstie and Jake cover some of the notable trends gleaned from Mandiant breach investigations over the past year around dwell time, ransomware, top initial intrusion vectors, and more.
