Incident Response Services
Cyber incidents happen. We can help you quickly investigate and understand the full scope to develop a comprehensive remediation strategy that effectively addresses both the current threat and future incident.
IR Engagement Methodology
During our IR engagements, we leverage your existing toolsets and data sources in conjunction with supplemental solutions that can be deployed as part of the engagement to achieve the necessary environmental visibility. Full visibility across network, endpoint, logs and other data sources allow our incident response team to obtain current and historical situational awareness that ensures a holistic view of any potential threats acting within your environment.
Armed with full knowledge of the identified and persistent threats and associated activities, we then develop a comprehensive remediation strategy. This includes tactical and strategic recommendations to effectively remove threat actors from your environment, and the establishment of a baseline to address future threat-related activities.
Common Threats
Many modern businesses that operate across a range of industries constantly come under attack from a barrage of cyber threats that are both relentless and sophisticated. Each type of cyber threat carries its own set of challenges:
- Ransomware hijacks critical data and demands payment for its release. Ransomware can cripple an organization’s operational capacity and lead to significant financial losses and reputational damage.
- Phishing campaigns use deceptive communications to deploy malicious code and compromise sensitive information, leading to unauthorized access to an organization’s systems and network(s).
- DDoS attacks overwhelm servers with traffic and render an organization’s services inaccessible. DDoS attacks often cause an organization’s operations to come to a halt which erodes customer trust and leads to financial loss.
- Insider Threats: Emanate from within the organization, whether unintentional or deliberate. This can lead to massive data leaks and are often harder to detect due to legitimate access.
- Advanced persistent threats involve targeted cyber campaigns that aim to infiltrate a victim’s systems to extract valuable data.
