Incident Readiness and Response

DFIR, or Digital Forensics and Incident Response, is a tenured team of incident investigators that respond to an emergency cybersecurity incident to perform a comprehensive forensic investigation, assess impact, maintain chain of custody of evidence, provide remediation advice, support litigation and insurance defensibility, and provide technical guidance to help organizations plan for a fast recovery post-breach.
DFIR service providers do differ. Be sure to carefully compare the features and level of expertise that are important for your organization when making a selection.

Yes, DFIR is a retainer service which provides faster incident response, access to proactive services, and the potential benefit of satisfying your organization’s insurance and/or regulatory compliance requirements.

Incident response goes well beyond simply getting back to work after an attack, as one might in simple disaster recovery. A well-planned incident response not only discovers what happened and how, but also provides valuable insights into the attack — illustrating what improvements can be made to ensure your network is prepared for the evolution of cyberattacks.
