Talos's rule release:
A new base policy, Maximum Detection, has been added in this release. The
Maximum Detection policy will grow to encompass a selection of vulnerabilities
from 2005 or later with a CVSS score of at least 7.5, along with critical
malware and exploit kit rules.
The "Maximum Detection" policy favors detection over rated throughput. In some
situations this policy can and will cause significant throughput reductions.
Cisco's Talos continues to recommend the "Balanced Connectivity and Security"
policy for most networks, and the "Security Over Connectivity" policy for
customers with more rigorous security requirements.
Talos has also added and modified multiple rules in the browser-ie,
exploit-kit, file-other and server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for
emerging threats from these technologies.
