Computer Forensics and Network Intrusion Incident Response

All organizations struggle with former disgruntled employees that leave their employment, but maintain ability to use the organization’s resources.  Sometimes the ability to log in remotely is still there, sometimes the employees created a backdoor to certain machines.  In the most nefarious cases, the employees may have planted malware. Threats also come from outside. 

Organizations may be targeted because of customer data residing in their servers or for any number of malicious reasons.  If your organization has been target, you need comprehensive incident response to nullify the threat and to bring your systems back securely and with minimal disruption.   If you suspect that your business is the victim a of security breach, it is important to swiftly and competently.  The breach must be contained before it leads to a larger compromise or destruction of your important data.
