Triage and Containment

Using state-of-the art and proven techniques, processes and technology, C3SA's CyberFIRE™ forensic team can quickly triage potentially compromised systems to identify, and when feasible attribute to a known threat actor, any given breach regardless of scope and scale. Once all compromised systems and assets have been successfully identified, C3SA's CyberFIRE™ team will work with your organization to efficiently contain and eradicate the threat and subsequently limit the amount of exposure to unaffected systems and services so that the impact on the business is as minimal as possible.

Damage Assessment

Once a breach has been identified, organizations are faced with qualifying and quantifying its scope and to determine which assets, services and information may have been damaged, destroyed, altered and/or stolen. Using our advanced and time-proven techniques and processes, C3SA's cyber forensic incident response experts can assist your organization in identifying what has been impacted and formulate a response plan to help restore business operations to a fully-functioning state all while restoring and maintaining stakeholder's trust and confidence in the institution.

Root Cause Analysis

To prevent future compromises, it is imperative that organizations that have suffered a breach pinpoint and address the deficiencies, vulnerabilities and gaps that were exploited by the threat actor. Leveraging our Intrusion & Malware Analysis services, C3SA can conduct an in-depth assessment of compromised systems, collected system and network event logs and determine with a high level of confidence the exact attack vector(s) that made the breach possible and if desired, provide expert guidance, advice and recommendations that can be quickly implemented across the organization to thwart future attacks.

Mitigation and Remediation

While identifying the root cause of a compromise is a step in the right direction for any organization that has suffered a breach, this is unfortunately not enough to thwart all future attacks as other vulnerabilities, deficiencies and gaps may still be present in other components of an organization's infrastructure. By leveraging C3SA's Security Assessment services such as Threat and Risk Assessments, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, we can profile, document and address an entire organization's risks, vulnerabilities and gaps and recommend actionable technical, procedural and policy-based safeguards that can be seamlessly incorporated into existing business processes to remediate existing and future deficiencies and, effectively mitigate costly future attacks.

IR Planning and Testing

Experience has shown that most organizations don't have a well-documented, repeatable and mature Incident Response process that carefully dictates how the organization should respond in the event of a compromise. Furthermore, even if an Incident Response plan has been formulated, it is rarely tested until a breach has actually taken place to ensure that it adequately satisfies existing business drivers and can successfully allow the organization to prevent, detect, respond and recover from complex and sophisticated cyber attacks. C3SA can help organizations create, document and enact a comprehensive and mature Incident Response plan tailor-made to a given business' unique requirements and, in conjunction with our Penetration Testing services, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of existing Incident Response plans and the overall organization's response to a simulated breach.
