top-notch security solutions

As soon as cybercriminals penetrate your network, they could achieve their goals within weeks or even hours. Many organizations fail to detect malicious activity promptly, however, because the methods, tools and tactics used by hackers are always improving.

Incident Response Assessment

What is an Incident Response Readiness Assessment?

arrow_drop_down

An Incident Response Readiness Assessment is a service designed to prepare our end customers for cyber security incidents from A to Z. While providing the service, our team of experts evaluate, test, and improve the client’s security monitoring capabilities (coverage, quality of telemetry), recovery capabilities, internal guidelines, and procedures and their fine-tuning, which reduces chaos when an incident occurs. We also include an optional Incident Responder instructor-led training course to the service scope.

Is an Incident Response Readiness Assessment similar to Purple Teaming?

arrow_drop_down

No, Purple Teaming includes a Red Team that simulates/emulates TTPs or a specific threat actor in order to test detection and Blue Team capabilities under the supervision of the vendor’s Blue Team. An Incident Response Readiness Assessment is designed to help prepare for cybersecurity incident response and incident management. Testing detection capabilities is out of scope.

When should I carry out an Incident Response Readiness Assessment?

arrow_drop_down

There are different use-cases to consider when carrying out an Incident Response Readiness Assessment:

  1. If it has never been done before.
  2. If you need a comprehensive action plan on how to strengthen cybersecurity within your company.
  3. If you need a report for your management board to help budget for cybersecurity solutions.
  4. If you have just created your own SOC.
  5. If you want to an independent evaluation of cybersecurity incident response readiness and interoperation between the IT, security, and management teams.
  6. If you have been onboarded by a Managed Security Service Provider. We will highlight any blind spots that should be addressed.

Is it mandatory to choose the full bundle?

arrow_drop_down

No. If you know exactly what you want, you can request a specific component of the service.

How long does it take to deliver the service?

arrow_drop_down

It depends on the agreed scope of service and can therefore range from 2 business days to 1 month.

I can't find a Ransomware Readiness service. Do you provide one?

arrow_drop_down

Incident Response Readiness Assessment is designed to measure and improve a client’s readiness across 15 different incident types, including ransomware, APTs, data leaks, and more. The scope of work is similar given that security monitoring and recovery capabilities are also evaluated.

How do you evaluate the company's readiness?

arrow_drop_down

We have designed a custom scoring methodology that produces results based on several criteria. For instance, we measure coverage and quality of telemetry as an input.

Can I optimize my telemetry as part of this service?

arrow_drop_down

Yes. We will determine whether you are collecting much more telemetry than is required to detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents.

Can I evaluate my playbooks?

arrow_drop_down

Yes. We will require some basic understanding of your infrastructure as we can advise various improvements to the actions taken by the IR team based on the security solutions you use and your departments’ names and roles. As a result, we will provide you with a list of issues and improvements for your playbooks.

Can I test my playbooks?

arrow_drop_down

Yes. We offer a tabletop exercise called IR Game. It is powered by the web service developed by our Group-IB team and it implements a game engine where one game is one incident scenario based on in-the-wild cases that our team has handled. IR Game is an instructor-led activity. Each game consists of a specific number of moves. Every move has a new input and an open-text form to write your actions. The main goal is to develop the most effective IR plan, investigate the case, and remediate it. The game is open-book, so teams can consult their playbooks.

The game includes many different scenarios and therefore can easily be adapted to either management or technical teams.

Is it possible to order custom playbooks developed from scratch?

arrow_drop_down

Yes.

Can I choose a course other than Incident Responder?

arrow_drop_down

Yes. We can include a different course, but in such cases it will not be provided as part of this specific service.
