Expert cyber incident response that manages breaches end-to-end.

What Our Clients Say

• What is cyber incident response?

  In cyber security, incident response refers to an organisation’s systematic approach to address and manage the after-effects of a cyber attack or security breach. The goal is to deal with the issue in a way that minimises damage, decreases recovery time and costs, and mitigates the risk of future incidents. A successful incident response strategy includes identifying, containing, and eliminating threats while ensuring that the organisation’s operations continue with as little disruption as possible. CyPro’s cyber incident response services offer expert-led guidance and tools for swiftly responding to incidents, safeguarding vital systems, and restoring normality.

• What is an incident response plan?

  An incident response plan is a documented strategy that describes how an organisation prepares for, identifies, responds to, and recovers from cyber incidents.
  Components:

  1. Preparation: Developing incident response policies and procedures.
  2. Detection and Analysis: Establishing techniques for incident identification and assessment.
  3. Response: Detailing what steps need to be taken in the event of an incident.
  4. Roles and Responsibilities: Defining who is responsible for each part of the response.
  5. Communication Protocols: Describe how, in the event of an incident, information is shared both internally and externally.

  An effective incident response strategy ensures prompt and well-coordinated actions, reducing potential damage.

  CyPro helps businesses develop and implement out strong incident response strategies that are aligned with industry best practices and compliance standards.

• What is incident response model of cyber security?

  Organisations can respond to and recover from cyber incidents with the support of an organised framework provided by the incident response model in cyber security. The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Incident Response Lifecycle is the most commonly used model.

  It consists of four main phases: Preparation, Detection and Analysis, Containment/Eradication and Recovery, and Post-Incident Activity. This model ensures that organisations are prepared, capable of promptly containing threats, recovering systems, and learning from incidents to enhance their cyber security posture. This framework serves as the foundation for CyPro’s incident response services, which ensures a comprehensive, systematic approach to handling cyber threats.

• What is cyber incident response team?

  A Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT), also known as a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), is a collection of cyber security experts who identify, manage, and mitigate the effects of cyber incidents. The team works to ensure a speedy recovery and reduce the damage that is caused by a security breach.

  Key Roles:

  • Incident Handlers: Responsible for incidents management, analysis, and detection.
  • Forensic Experts: Investigate the core cause of the incident and collect evidence for reporting or legal purposes.
  • Threat Analysts: Identify the scope and nature of the cyber attack and recommend appropriate responses.
  • Communications Coordinators: During an incident, manage communications both internally and externally, making sure the stakeholders are notified.

  Benefits:

  • Quick Response: A CIRT ensures quick threat detection and containment, reducing downtime and minimising damage.
  • Specialised Expertise: The team is made up of cyber security professionals with extensive knowledge of cyber security threats and response approaches.
  • Proactive Protection: The CIRT conducts preventive actions to strengthen the organisation’s defence and assists in identifying vulnerabilities prior to incidents.

  At CyPro, our team of experts in cyber incident response offers expert-led support to make sure your company is always secured and prepared to respond quickly to any cyber incident.
