MORE DETAILS

Although primarily a reactive service, Reliance Cyber differentiates itself through our preparedness training that vastly reduces the number of incidents incurred over the course of the support. Reliance Cyber delivers tailored incident response services that integrate seamlessly with your existing plans. Unlike traditional reactive approaches, we focus on prevention and preparedness through crisis simulation testing, response planning, breach readiness assessments, and continuous security monitoring with advanced threat intelligence.

This proactive strategy reduces response times and maximises the value of your retained hours whilst strengthening your security posture.

Incident response plans are essential for mitigating the impact of cyber threats. They provide a structured approach to identifying, containing, and recovering from incidents swiftly. Without a well-defined plan, organisations risk extended downtime, financial losses, and damage to their reputation. Additionally, incident response plans ensure regulatory compliance, strengthening trust with stakeholders. By preparing for potential breaches, businesses can minimise disruptions and protect critical assets, supporting operational continuity and resilience.

What steps are involved in responding to a cyber incident?

Responding to a cyber incident involves several critical steps.

  • Preparation: Ensure security protocols and tooling are built in a way that best protects the organisation in the face of a breach. This includes the testing of security practices.
  • Monitoring, detection and analysis: 24×7 threat monitoring, detection and analysis of the threat. This can be either through the customers internal team or Reliance Cyber incident response team using round-the-clock threat intelligence monitoring.
  • Containment: Our first step is to contain the threat by isolating it from the wider network, ensuring it cannot affect anymore of the organisation.
  • Eradication: This careful procedure involves removing the cause of the incident and any associated threats without impacting systems, tools or data within proximity of the incident.
  • Recovery: Here we focus on the restoration of systems and/services to normal operation while addressing any remaining vulnerabilities.
  • Post-incident review: Our incident responders document every stage of the incident investigation, enabling them to report in detail to your organisation to support the further enhancement of your internal security, whilst also supporting any legal or insurance related claims. The review provides a detailed report that analyse the incident, refines response strategies and updates policies to improve future readiness.
