Elevate Your Attack Readiness with Effective Incident Response Plans and Tabletop Exercises

Threat intelligence from the frontlines details the common vectors that lead to cybersecurity incidents in organizations of similar size and industry, and you have incident response plans shaped accordingly. Technical, management, and external stakeholders crucial to incident response motions are clearly identified and know their responsibilities according to the last tabletop exercise. You have Cybereason as your incident response preparedness partner.

ENABLING AGILE RESPONSE ACROSS ALL STAKEHOLDERS AND STAGES OF AN INCIDENT

SHAPED BY FRONTLINE INTEL

Ultra-complex attacks that make headlines may not represent realistic risks for your organization. We customize and refine incident response plans and simulations with validated threat intelligence across organizations of similar size and industry to effectively address the most pressing threats.
STRATEGIC STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Engagements are flexible and tailored to specific needs of each client, covering technical response tactics, executive and board directors, as well as external vendors. Our approach equips all stakeholders to confidently fulfill their roles during an incident, significantly reducing the impact of cyber incidents.
MINIMIZE OPERATIONAL IMPACT

Recovery can be time consuming and complex, so we shape our incident preparedness services to include incident recovery and restoration steps. Backups, redundancies, prioritized business areas to focus on first, and communication steps to strengthen readiness and minimize downtime.

Incident Response Plans and Tabletops Fully Covered by the Resilience Retainer

Incident response planning and tabletop exercises are seamlessly integrated with our Resilience Retainer, along with dozens of hardening, response, and recovery solutions. Retainer clients can allocate dollar-for-dollar credits towards developing or refining response plans or a new tabletop exercise, in addition to securing prioritized access to Cybereason’s elite digital forensics and incident response team in the event of an incident. 

Customizable Plans and Exercises for All Organizational Levels

Technical Teams
In-depth playbooks for identifying, mitigating, and recovering from cyber threats, including when, how and which vendors to engage. Detailed runbooks with instructions for handling email compromise, ransomware, DDoS, IP theft, and more. Equip technical responders with the necessary resources to respond promptly and efficiently.
C-Suite and Executive Leadership
Focused on high-level decision-making, business continuity, and reputational impact, these sessions guide stakeholders through their roles in and the necessary tools to make informed decisions regarding public relations, legal obligations, and financial repercussions in the event of an incident. These sessions can include vendors like law firms, PR agencies, and others.
Board-Level Strategy
Cybereason collaborates closely with boards of directors to ensure they understand the organization’s cybersecurity posture and their governance responsibilities. Our readiness solutions include robust oversight protocols, effective communication strategies, and tailored risk assessments that address board-level concerns, ensuring that corporate governance is aligned with security efforts.

Holistic Incident Response Planning Approach

Risk Assessment and Gap Analysis

Evaluate current plans, pinpointing any weaknesses and gaps. This comprehensive analysis is the foundation for a customized Incident Response Plan (IRP) that specifically addresses organization's unique vulnerabilities.
Runbooks and Playbooks

Experts develop detailed incident response runbooks for technical teams, outlining the exact steps they need to follow during various incidents, and broader playbooks for strategic response and coordination among stakeholders.
Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

To ensure business continuity during a crisis, we incorporate decision-making frameworks, financial risk analysis, and stakeholder communication strategies designed to keep the business running during and after an incident.
Legal and Compliance

Many regulations now require notification of an incident within pre-determined timelines so your response plans should adhere to relevant mandates. We work with your legal and compliance teams to ensure that your organization is prepared.

Communication Plans

Effective communication can have a significant impact in managing reputational and regulatory risk following an incident. Our plans include internal and external communication, covering media management, customer notifications, and employee updates.

HOLISTIC INCIDENT PREPAREDNESS

With our holistic approach to preparedness, you can have peace of mind knowing that your organization is fully equipped to handle any cyber threat that may come your way. Our Incident Response Planning (IRP) services cover technical, operational, and strategic levels, whilst our TTXs (Tabletop Exercises) are designed to prepare both technical responders and strategic decision-makers. By involving every level of your organization, we ensure that everyone is aligned and equipped to respond effectively to cyber incidents.

Diverse Playbooks and Exercise Scenarios

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, playbooks and exercise scenarios must keep up but some threats are nearly perennial. Strengthening response plans around these common threats can greatly improve most organizations' resilience, so we typically suggest these as initial considerations:

  • Ransomware Attack Simulations, including detection, isolation, negotiation, recovery
  • Data Breach Simulations, focusing on containment and remediation to prevent further data loss and meet regulatory reporting obligations.
  • Business Email Compromise (BEC) Simulations, including detection, response, and mitigation capabilities along with communication protocols to prevent financial loss.
  • Insider Threat Scenarios, simulating compromise of sensitive data or systems by an internal actor and the organization’s ability to detect, contain, and mitigate in a timely manner.
  • Supply Chain Attacks, replicating incidents where participants must identify vulnerabilities, assess damage, and coordinate vendor risk management, restore systems and develop external communication strategies with vendors and clients potentially impacted.
  • Nation-State Attack Simulations, primarily for larger organizations or those in critical industries, involving sophisticated, long-term attacks require advanced threat detection, countermeasures, and potentially the involvement of federal law enforcement.
