Incident Handling and Forensics

Challenging Times – How to Respond?
How do you respond? When it comes to information security related matters, this is an ever important question facing organizations. In today's IT environment organizations must deal with a variety of security incidents such as security breaches from both external and internal sources, notifications when the protection of customer data has been compromised, forensic investigation of fraudulent activities, and sabotage by personnel in sensitive positions. Having a plan of action before security incidents occur and having the right security partner to help when they do occur is critical.

Dealing with Incidents
With increasing dependence on distributed networks, outsourcing of services, and reliance on the Internet, a company becomes more vulnerable to security breaches. Once the existence or potential existence of a security breach has been detected, reaction time is critical. A telephone call from a client will focus Sword & Shield security engineers on finding the security breach, recommending a course of action, and working with you or third party representatives to secure the breached system and deal with the incident.
