In today’s cyber threat landscape, a swift response to security incidents is essential. Persist Security offers Incident Response (IR) services to minimize attack impacts and protect your data and operations.
Persist Security’s expert team is available 24/7 to handle incidents with cutting-edge tools and a proactive approach, ensuring threats are eliminated and future risks are mitigated. With experience in tackling ransomware and advanced persistent threats (APTs), we bring unmatched expertise to every situation.
Our incident response team is equipped to handle the full spectrum of cyber threats targeting modern organizations. With deep expertise across diverse attack vectors, we deliver rapid containment, thorough investigation, and complete remediation for every type of security incident.
Ransomware Attacks: Ransomware remains one of the most devastating threats to businesses worldwide. Our team specializes in rapid containment of ransomware spread, forensic analysis to determine the attack vector, data recovery strategies that minimize reliance on paying ransoms, and negotiation support when necessary. We restore operations while preserving critical evidence for potential law enforcement involvement.
Data Breaches: When sensitive data is exposed — whether customer records, intellectual property, or financial information — our team quickly identifies the scope of the breach, determines what data was accessed or exfiltrated, and implements containment measures. We guide you through notification requirements and help rebuild trust with affected stakeholders.
Insider Threats: Not all threats originate externally. We investigate cases involving malicious insiders, negligent employees, and compromised credentials. Our forensic capabilities include user behavior analysis, access log reconstruction, and evidence preservation that meets legal standards for potential prosecution or civil proceedings.
DDoS Attacks: Distributed denial-of-service attacks can cripple your online operations within minutes. Our response includes traffic analysis, attack pattern identification, mitigation deployment, and implementation of long-term DDoS protection strategies to prevent recurrence.
Supply Chain Compromises: Attacks targeting your vendors and software supply chain are increasingly common and difficult to detect. We perform thorough investigations to identify compromised components, assess the blast radius within your environment, and coordinate response efforts across multiple affected organizations.
Business Email Compromise (BEC): BEC attacks use social engineering to manipulate employees into transferring funds or sharing sensitive information. Our team traces the attack chain, identifies compromised accounts, recovers funds when possible, and implements technical controls to prevent future incidents.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs): State-sponsored and sophisticated threat actors require specialized detection and response capabilities. Our analysts use advanced threat hunting techniques, memory forensics, and threat intelligence to identify, track, and eradicate APT activity from your environment.
In cybersecurity, the speed of your response directly determines the severity of the damage. Research consistently shows that organizations with rapid incident response capabilities significantly reduce both the financial and operational impact of security breaches.
The cost of delay is staggering. According to industry research, the average cost of a data breach exceeds $4.45 million globally, but organizations that contain a breach within 200 days save an average of over $1 million compared to those that take longer. Every hour of delayed response allows attackers to expand their foothold, exfiltrate additional data, and cause greater damage to your infrastructure and reputation.
Detection time remains a critical challenge. The average time to identify and contain a breach is approximately 277 days — more than nine months during which threat actors operate undetected within compromised networks. Organizations with dedicated incident response teams and established playbooks reduce this window dramatically, often detecting and containing threats within days rather than months.
The first 48 hours are decisive. The initial 48-hour window following breach discovery is the most critical period for effective incident response. During this time, digital evidence is freshest, attack infrastructure may still be active and traceable, containment measures have the greatest impact, and forensic artifacts have not yet been overwritten. Our team is structured to mobilize within hours of engagement, ensuring that this critical window is not wasted on organizational delays or decision-making bottlenecks.
Regulatory notification deadlines are strict. Modern data protection regulations impose aggressive notification timelines: GDPR requires breach notification within 72 hours, many U.S. state laws mandate notification within 30 to 60 days, and industry regulators may require even faster disclosure. Failure to meet these deadlines results in significant fines and penalties on top of the breach costs themselves. Our incident response process includes regulatory compliance tracking to ensure all notification obligations are met on time.
