Threat actors remain on the offensive, constantly expanding how they infiltrate organizations’ environments and inflict financial, operational, and reputational harm. Turning to a proven incident response provider for emergency services is essential when a threat actor strikes your business.
Sophos and Secureworks have built industry-leading incident response services designed to help customers in their hour of need with a rapid response to cyberattacks.
We are delighted to announce the general availability of Sophos Emergency Incident Response, the first service to combine the strengths of these two robust incident response practices into one converged offering.
Rapid remote and onsite support
When a cyber emergency strikes, there isn’t time to waste. You need quick action by experienced incident response personnel to assess and contain the threat, specialized skills to neutralize and eject the adversary, and an understanding of what happened and how to prevent it moving forward.
Sophos Emergency Incident Response delivers remote and onsite assistance to organizations experiencing a cyberattack or who believe they are a victim of threat actor activity. This service focuses on executing responses throughout all stages of the incident response lifecycle, from initial contact and investigation through iterative forensics and threat analysis, attack surface reduction, remediation activities, improvement recommendations, and detailed post-incident summary.
Fueled by threat intelligence and vast security expertise
Sophos Emergency Incident Response experts provide digital forensics, malware analysis, threat intelligence from the Counter Threat Unit research team – now part of Sophos X-Ops – and threat hunting to find and eliminate threats. We use cross-disciplinary subject matter experts (such as penetration testers and threat researchers) to ensure comprehensive risk mitigation and recovery, as well as fortification against future strikes.
