95% of all networks
are vulnerable to attack
Your network and data is at risk of being hacked, whether you are a large internationally operating corporation or a small local company. Malicious attacks come from outside hackers or sometimes even discontentet employees, and they can be devastating to your business.
What is cybersecurity awareness training?
Employees play a major role in securing your business.
Identification
When responding to a breach, hack or other security incident our first response is to locate and determine the depth and scope of the incident. We gather information such as log files, error messages, and information from other sources, such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls.
Containment
Once the depth and scope of the incident is determined, our next step is containment with the goal of limiting damages and prevent further damages. This includes short-term and long-term containment, and system back-ups for thorough forensic analysis.
Eradication
After achieving containment the next step for our security experts is to actually remove and restore the affected systems, while ensuring the proper removal of malicious content from the affected systems in order to prevent reinfection.
Recovery
Once the malware or security breach is eradicated, the next step of our experts focuses on recovery of the systems. We support and make sure affected systems are back online in a short time frame, and we monitor and test the restored systems to secure they are not being reinfected or compromised by some other means.
Forensic Analysis
Once the system is restored, further investigations take place and our security experts apply forensic analysis and other investigatory techniques to locate the source of the incident. All stages of the Incident Response process are being documented by our experts, followed by a post incident analysis.
Lessons Learned
After recovery of the systems is completed and the analysis is completed, the final part is the Lesson to be Learned. The final aim is to learn from the incident and improve security performance to make sure the incident does not occur again.
