Incident Response, Data Loss and Incursion Forensics

If an incident does occur, we ensure a quick, effective and long-lasting response.

Tecala delivers industry-leading digital forensics, investigation and response tools and techniques to ensure your business can respond to incursions quickly and effectively.

Our Digital Forensics and Incident Response teams enable you to develop a clear directive and plan regarding how your team will act in the event of an attack, to enable you to limit the operational disruption or the financial and legal repercussions of an incident.

Threat actors are relentless in their pursuit to exploit high-value targets. In addition to the growing sophistication of ransomware, threat actors are also evolving the techniques they’re leveraging to launch attacks. Within the past year, we have seen increasing instances of adversaries relying on the ransomware-as-a-service model and double extortion to guarantee payment.

These complex attack tactics require equally complex recovery solutions. This is intensified by the fact that, when responding to an incident, time is of the essence, as a delayed, uncoordinated or muddled response could cost millions. According to Forbes the average recovery cost from ransomware attacks more than doubled in 2020 compared to the previous year*.

Even though organisations must do everything in their power to reduce the threat of attacks, it’s equally important to have an effective strategy in place to respond to incidents.

If an incident or disaster does strike, you’ll need an incident response partner that can respond fast. our teams deliver the fastest response times in the industry.

Incident Response

Tecala’s Incident Response team provides an end-to-end incident response that not only stops attackers but supports remediation and recovery to ensure the root causes of the attack or breach are fixed and the chance for recurrence is eliminated.

In collaboration with our Consultancy and Advisory teams, we ensure your response satisfies your reporting obligations and assist you with communicating the findings to your local law enforcement teams.

By managing your initial response, and then consolidating all information and learnings relating to the incident, we can recover and restore the systems with all the relevant data, enabling you to return to business as usual as soon as possible. In this way we implement the lessons learned to strengthen your security policy and approaches.

Data Loss and Incursion Forensics

Tecala has a team of computer forensic practitioners with decades of experience serving different Government departments and Fortune 500 companies.

Our team has their eye on the glass 24/7 to collect, process, preserve, and analyse computer-related evidence in support of your corporate communications and cloud infrastructure, and how data flows through the organisation.

Security Assessment

To understand how to deliver the most effective Incident Response we first need to assess your risk profile and understand your existing systems and operations and to decide on the most effective response.

To help your organisation act fast to reduce the impact of an attack, we highly recommend running a tailored Security Assessment with one of Tecala’s Senior Cyber Security Specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some examples of incursions or attacks?

In addition to the growing sophistication of ransomware, threat actors are also evolving in the techniques they’re leveraging to launch attacks. Within the past year, we have seen increasing instances of adversaries relying on the ransomware-as-a-service model and double extortion to guarantee payment.
In the SolarWinds incursion TechTarget explains that: “Hackers used a method known as a supply chain attack to insert malicious code into the Orion system. A supply chain attack works by targeting a third party with access to an organization's systems rather than trying to hack the networks directly.”
More recently, in the Kaseya VSA compromise in July 2021, ransomware attacks were carefully orchestrated to incite as much chaos and instability as possible. According to ZDNet reporting at the time: “Attackers carried out a supply chain ransomware attack by leveraging a vulnerability in Kaseya's VSA software against multiple managed service providers (MSP) – and their customers.”

What are the benefits of incident response?

Using a multi-layered approach to cyber security, that integrates endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR), along with human-empowered managed threat hunting and intelligence, you’re going to have a strong cyber defence strategy. But if an attack is successful, an incident response plan will enable you to mitigate the impact of an attack, remediate vulnerabilities, and secure your overall organization quickly and in a coordinated manner.

Should I be outsourcing my incident response?

It comes down to whether you have the internal capability and expertise to coordinate and align the resources required to minimise the impact of a cyber-attack and restore operations as quickly as possible.
Also, do you have the capacity to draw these key people away from other essential IT services within the organisation? Depending on the answer to these questions you’ll have an idea of the risk to the organisation of a cyber-attack causing serious damage.
Partnering with a Managed Cyber Security specialist, like Tecala and our Cyber Security Vendors, gives your organisation access to manpower, tools, and resources as and when you need them to efficiently tackle the issue and minimize its impact on your operations.
Because we specialise in Incident Response and Data Loss and Incursion Forensics, and because we’re dealing with incidents every day, we’re well placed to identify potential threat vectors applicable to your organisation and develop strategies to quickly respond to them.

Why are data loss and incursion forensics important?

If an attack does breach your cyber security defences, you’ll need it to be identified and remediated as soon as possible – i.e., before it’s able to carry out its complete ‘threat act’.
Data loss and incursion forensics deliver end-to-end investigations into your data flows through your corporate communications network, allowing you to identify and suppress cyber security incidents.
Using tools like XDR in your environment delivers instant access, detection, and containment capabilities, allowing you to get back to business as quickly as possible.

Are data loss and incursion forensics a type of AI?

AI-powered technologies make digital forensics more impactful. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, both delivered as part of Tecala’s Intelligent Business Practice can be used to maximise the accuracy of digital data loss and incursion forensics enabling the identification of more incidents and leading to their timely resolution.
