The first step of a cyber security response is always to gain an understanding of the current situation. This will include getting a timeline of key events, identifying the data that has been collected, steps taken upon discovery etc.
Recognising there has been an attack and identifying the cause is vital to containing the damage and nullifying the threat. Attacks are becoming ever more sophisticated and it’s now common practice for one attack to act as a smokescreen for another. Not all attacks are announced and come with ransom notes. Attackers tend to try and stay hidden once they get in to explore then exploit whatever vulnerabilities they can find. Even if your team has recognised a specific type of attack, it is essential to investigate if the vulnerabilities that allowed them access are still there. Using backups to restore systems to a state prior to an attack may still leave an open door for the attackers.
Even if you haven’t engaged with INTERACTIVE before we can still help regardless whether you or your service provider have already tried to fix it. Depending on your objectives, we will always start by carrying out a STATE-OF-SECURITY ASSESSMENT followed by containment of any threats that may still exist.
Using advanced data recovery and forensic techniques, we ensure the preservation of evidence to law enforcement standards.
The relevant analysis is carried out depending on the evidence collected and agreed objectives.
Remediation will vary according to the breach type and extent, as well as the size and type of client organisation. The report will contain all parts of the response, carried out as well as recommended actions aimed at preventing other events and minimising the impact of any future events. This report will also help calculate the financial impact, which can be used for regulatory reports and insurance requirements
Clear lessons have to be identified and learned and demonstrable actions for improvement must be actioned. Not all attacks can be prevented, and the increasing number of attacks means that you’re more likely to need to have a well prepared cyber incident response plan (CIRP) and a clear and a well-drilled cyber incident response team (CIRT) who know their roles and can respond immediately when needed.
Cyber security is the most complex, current and critical risk businesses face today: it is a matter of ‘WHEN’ and not ‘IF’ a business becomes a victim of a cyber breach or attack.Insurance can help soften the blow of any attack, but as the old saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
Our Managed Cyber Incident Response Services are proven to help significant organisations understand and meet the challenges of cyber risk head-on and with confidence that’s hard earned through assessments, stress-testing procedures and the strengthening of an effective cyber preparedness culture.
