How Incident Response works at A1 Digital
1
Security-check
Before we take action in an emergency, we work with you to analyze your IT and OT infrastructure. We focus on the current maturity level of your security measures, vulnerabilities, and blind spots. That way, in the event of a crisis, we know immediately where to start.
2
First response
As soon as you report a security incident, our first-response team begins an initial investigation. We analyze your log data and specifically look for known indicators of compromise, which allows us to assess the severity of the incident.
3
Deep analysis
During this phase, we conduct a detailed investigation of the attack within your software using a specialized Incident Management tool. Through targeted analysis during the response, threat hunting, and initial remediation measures, we contain the incident and prevent it from spreading further within the system.
4
Global response
With your consent, we will mobilize global resources in the event of particularly serious or complex attacks. Together with Mandiant’s specialists, we will scan and clean up your IT infrastructure and completely remove the attackers.
Features of the Incident Management software from A1 Digital
Log file analysis
The Incident Response solution performs a structured analysis of your systems' log data following a security incident. This quickly identifies suspicious events and allows for the targeted classification of the initial traces of the attack.
Indicators of compromise
Our Incident Response service scans your environment for known indicators of compromise. This allows you to detect compromised systems, suspicious files, and unusual connections more quickly.
Software deployment
For further investigation, in-depth analysis software will be provided to gain additional insights into the incident and examine the affected systems more closely.
Threat hunting
The Incident Response platform helps you conduct a targeted search for additional threats within your infrastructure. This allows you to detect even hidden traces of attacks that were not yet visible during the initial investigation.
Remediation
Our cyber Incident Response service helps clean up affected systems after analysis, removes detected attack artifacts, and specifically contains the spread of the incident.
Monitoring
During an active security incident, the service monitors relevant activities in your IT environment and evaluates them on an ongoing basis.
Frequently asked questions about Incident Response from A1 Digital
In cybersecurity, incident response refers to the structured process by which companies respond to security incidents in their IT infrastructure. The goal is to detect and contain the attack as quickly as possible and to remediate the affected systems.
An incident response team is a group of specialized security experts who respond in a structured and coordinated manner in the event of a cyberattack. The team conducts a technical investigation of the incident, initiates containment measures, communicates the current status to all stakeholders, and assists with the remediation of affected systems. Companies can either build their own teams for this purpose or rely on external specialists from A1 Digital.
An Incident Response service is an external solution provided by specialized cybersecurity providers such as A1 Digital. Experienced experts take on the role of an incident response team and respond quickly and systematically to attacks by cybercriminals. This gives companies immediate access to external expertise, proven processes, and the necessary technical resources to contain and resolve the incident in the event of an emergency.
An existing Security Operations Center is not a prerequisite for A1 Digital’s cyber Incident Response service. We begin with a one-time onboarding process during which we assess your systems and your current security level. Once onboarding is complete, you can report an incident at any time by phone or email, and we will respond within four hours. The Incident Response as a Service is independent of any security solutions you already have in place, however, a SOC is recommended if you also want continuous monitoring of your IT infrastructure.
