What is Incident response?

arrow_drop_down

Incident Response is a set of procedures and actions to prepare for, detect, stop, and recover from an information security incident.

Can you decrypt files after a ransomware attack?

arrow_drop_down

It is possible to decrypt files after a ransomware attack in rare cases only. Usually, if there are no backups it is impossible to recover the data.

What documents do you need to start the Incident response?

arrow_drop_down

We need a signed 3-way NDA (non-disclosure agreement between you, us and the partner) and issued PO (purchase order) or service engagement letter.

How do you price Group-IB Incident Response?

arrow_drop_down

Incident Response service is being priced by hours of the response engagement for each specialist involved.

What are my responsibilities during Incident Response engagement?

arrow_drop_down

We expect our clients to perform following actions:

  • Deployment of Group-IB Managed XDR appliance (if agreed to deploy)
  • Brief our IR team about the discovered incident and your infrastructure details
  • Provide our IR team with necessary access to security controls
  • IT infrastructure manipulation
  • Apply recommendations from our final report

Why should a business work with incident response professionals?

arrow_drop_down
  • Your information security team may not have all the capabilities required. If your company has been affected by an incident, it means that your own team was unable to detect and prevent the incident in time because it lacks certain necessary skills and experience to quickly and effectively tackle modern threats.
  • Your team may not have had experience with complicated attacks. Countering attacks and identifying traces of compromise requires experience gained by responding to incidents daily and knowledge of the most recent tactics, techniques and procedures used by hackers. Most in-house teams have not had the opportunity to gain the skills and experience needed.
  • You are at risk of further incidents. When the active phase of an attack starts, it means that the hackers have been inside the infrastructure anywhere from three days to three months. In that time they could have not only stolen confidential data but also created additional points of entry into your infrastructure. Retracing all their steps and preventing them from attacking you again requires professional incident response teams, solid skills, and extensive experience in digital forensics.

What are the advantages of joined-up work with Group-IB Incident response instead of relying on your own IS team only?

arrow_drop_down
  • If your team has come across an incident, you may need additional resources to quickly counter the attack and identify traces of compromise. When an incident occurs, your team is likely to have their hands full in ensuring business continuity rather than identification of the root causality of an incident.
  •  It is likely that you may not have the capabilities to identify and monitor every possible threat and that it will be difficult to trace the hackers back to the initial compromised resource without help from digital forensics specialists who perform these actions daily and track the evolution of threat actors.
  • An in-house team does not always have the necessary incident response skills and experience to quickly and effectively tackle modern threats. Countering attacks and identifying traces of compromise requires extensive experience in incident response and knowledge about the most recent tactics, techniques and procedures used by attackers. It also requires the vast diversified information that has been collated with years of experience.
  • Effective incident response requires advanced skills in digital forensics and in analyzing malicious code along with not just being able to detect the compromises but to attribute them to the correct threat actors and their techniques.

What recognition does Group-IB have for its Incident Response?

arrow_drop_down

Does Group-IB Incident Response require any installations in my infrastructure?

arrow_drop_down

Our Incident Response team leverages an in-house solution – Group-IB Managed XDR, which enables advanced protection, rapid collection of forensic data and containment of compromised hosts, as well as 24/7 monitoring and notification supported by CERT-GIB.

We install EDR agents and for two weeks after responding to the incident, the CERT-GIB team will monitor the infrastructure so your IT team has time to implement our recommendations.

How many Group-IB specialists will be involved in my Incident Response case?

arrow_drop_down

While the incident is going, you will be supported by our account manager. Depending on the type of incident, we will allocate not only incident responder, but digital forensics specialist, malware analyst and a cyber threat intelligence specialist.

On average, there are 2 DFIR specialists allocated for each incident. Depends on a complexity of the incident could be up to 5 specialists.
