Why Incident Response?
The technical expertise required to analyse, contain and eradicate a cyber security threat isn’t a resource that’s ordinarily freely available.
Within the industry, Incident Response is seen as a core component of any well-thought out cyber security strategy. It’s no surprise that proper incident response planning is seen as a core security control in all the leading cyber security frameworks and standards:
- NIST PR.IP-9
- CIS CSC 19
- COBIT 5 APO12.06, DSS04.03
- ISA 62443-2-1:2009 4.3.2.5.3,4.3.4.5.1
- ISO 27001:2013 A.16.1.1,A.17.1.1, A.17.1.2, A.17.1.3
- NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 4 CP-2, CP-7,CP-12, CP-13, IR-7, IR-8, IR-9, PE-17
Our Incident Response Process
Your organisation must be able to respond to a suspected security incident quickly.
We leverage an array of next-generation technologies and expert cyber security specialists to deliver an incident response service. The service assists your organisation in responding to a suspected security incident in a time-efficient and productive manner.
Our staged approach is to stop the active threat while applying proprietary tools and processes to quickly diagnose the environment and remedy the situation:
A Compromise Assessment offers a comprehensive analysis of whether your environment has been compromised from a cyber security perspective. Our Incident Response team provide insight, direction and remediation advice if it has, or a clean bill of health if it has not.
Enterprise-wide data is collected and analysed for evidence of suspicious activity. Indicators of compromise (IOCs) are prioritised for in-depth investigation based on the risks they pose to the client’s network environment and business operations. If evidence of a past breach is discovered, our experts can determine when, where, and how it occurred, and provide recommendations for preventing a recurrence. If a breach is currently in progress, the team can transition into incident response.
