A cybersecurity incident isn’t necessarily a one-time occurrence.
Incident response is the process of responding to a known or suspected cybersecurity incident – whether a single event or the start of a larger attack or issue. Dealing with a security event can be stressful and complex, and responding quickly is vital.
We know you might not have the in-house knowledge or expertise to sort all this out. Our specialists are here to help you address individual incidents and to strengthen your overall incident response program with our 24/7, rapid response team.
During an event, the initial inclination might be to ignore the problem altogether or to fix things quickly, but these tactics can cause further damage. That’s why it’s important to engage our team as soon as an event happens so that we can help you carefully and methodically assess the situation and determine the best path forward. From identifying root causes to decrypting data, our experience analyzing millions of maliciously encrypted files gives us a unique advantage when dealing with these crippling attacks.
Following are some of the critical steps we can help you take:
Preserve the evidence
It’s important to call in our team as soon as an event occurs, as taking steps like running antivirus solutions and restoring your system could destroy key evidence and ignore critical vulnerabilities that could lead to repeated attacks. Forensic analysis might be necessary to determine what happened, what data the attackers might have accessed, and the scope and scale of the incident.
Contact legal support
Security incidents might result in both civil litigation and criminal prosecution. Engaging legal assistance early helps to make these legal considerations part of the response process.
Notify insurance
Many insurance policies include incident response coverage, and we can assist with all aspects of the claim – from initial response and remediation to the insurance claim preparation itself.
