GDF will help you achieve Forensic & Readiness for Cyber Security

With so many businesses tied to the digital world today, forensic readiness is not only an important part of staying competitive and profitable, it’s an essential element for sheer survival. As cyber threats continue to evolve, with them so must readiness. Cyber security has one inherent flaw, it is all approached from a reactive standpoint, meaning defenses against new attack methods, malware and all the other cyber nasties are only developed and deployed once they've been found "in the wild," analyzed, defined, documented, and finally have a fix, patch or tool deployed to avert the problem. And while that approach may be sufficient to thwart 99.9% of potential cyber attacks (not a statistical fact, it's just to make a point), there is still that fraction of never before seen attacks and exploits, like zero day attacks/exploits, which make it impossible for anyone to achieve 100% security. So if the unthinkable does happen and a cyber attack, breach or intrusion occurs, success, and maybe even survival, will depend on how quick and effective the response is. GDF is strategically positioned with emergency incident response teams in various locations across the country, and the globe, to have seasoned, certified and knowledgeable experts on the emergency quickly.

How does GDF get you ready?

Forensic Readiness Assessment

Comprehensive analysis of your current state of affairs
We thoroughly review your internal security infrastructure to get a lay of the land so we can ensure that information necessary to reduce the time and level of effort required for a forensics incident is minimized.

Comprehensive analysis of investigation requirements
We’ll assist in drafting a deliverable which will dictate how incidents and requests are responded to, thereby again reducing level of effort and reducing time requirements, and that means reducing costs even more.

Establish investigation response procedures matrix
We will create an escalation matrix based on your unique internal policy, personnel, applicable regulatory guidelines and data affected.

Training for forensics response
The best plans are useless if no one knows how to properly enact them. We train internal IT resources in first response, evidence preservation, chain of custody etc., allowing you to be fully prepared if an incident requires elevation.
