CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT RESPONSE
Experiencing a cyber security incident?
When a data breach or malicious attack occurs, you need an incident response team that is fast, precise, and knowledgeable, using threat intelligence to respond with authority.
Our experts will remediate the incident by gaining immediate threat visibility, preserving digital forensic evidence, removing the adversary from the network, and minimizing the impact of an attack so you can continue business operations.
Types of cyber incidents
If you believe your business may be impacted by one of these threats or compromised in any other way, it’s important to take immediate action to prevent further damage.
Ransomware
Ransomware attacks block access to files and systems while demanding a fee from the user in order to regain access.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
BEC involves professional criminals using a company’s email system to steal money or acquire proprietary business information for monetary gain.
Phishing
Phishing occurs when a bad actor impersonates a trusted corporation or user and directs recipients to take immediate, fraudulent action through email, social media, or texting.
Our Incident Response & Remediation Process
When we work with businesses affected by a cyber security incident, we follow a repeatable process to identify the full scope of the threat and contain & remediate it. From there, we draw on our security experience to consult businesses on how to implement safeguards that protect them moving forward.
Preparation
Our team brings collective years of experience in responding to security events and securing environments from common threats. We continuously invest in our tools and team to better prepare for and defend against emerging threats.
Identification
We gather and analyze all available data in each unique incident. Our team works to determine the initial access method and the full scope of the breach in order to build a fast and effective containment strategy.
Containment
Once the initial scope of the incident is understood, our team works to conduct emergency containment steps to prevent the threat from progressing further.
Eradication
After a containment plan has been enacted, our team works to remove the threat actors from an environment while removing any persistence methods identified during our investigation.
Recovery
Once the eradication step is complete, we work to secure and restore your services in order of criticality in order to avoid prolonged downtime whenever possible.
Lessons Learned
Finally, we work with your team to identify potential risks to your organization and areas that could have been improved to prevent attacks from impacting your business again in the future.
