Incident Response & Digital Forensics

When a cyber incident becomes real, contain the threat, understand what happened and restore operations with a disciplined response process.

Overview

Fast help in a cyber emergency.

Ransomware, compromised credentials, phishing and exploited vulnerabilities can interrupt critical operations within minutes. During an active incident, organizations need clear authority, rapid technical action and reliable evidence—not improvised decision-making.

CRATOS CAN provides incident-response and digital-forensics support to determine scope, contain malicious activity, preserve evidence, support recovery and turn the incident into concrete security improvements.

Response services

Our services at a glance.

The response sequence is adapted to the incident, but the core goals remain speed, control, evidence and recovery.

  • Rapid responseStart triage and containment as soon as the incident is reported, using remote support and coordinated on-site activity where appropriate.
  • Comprehensive analysisDetermine affected systems, identities, data and likely attack paths to understand the true scope.
  • Containment & damage limitationIsolate compromised systems or accounts, interrupt malicious access and prevent further spread.
  • Recovery supportWork with the organization’s IT team to restore systems and services safely, with validation before return to operation.
  • Digital forensics & lessons learnedPreserve and analyze relevant evidence, reconstruct the incident timeline and identify root causes and control failures.
  • Reporting & evidenceCreate management and technical documentation that can support insurers, legal counsel, governance processes and applicable regulatory obligations.

Incident lifecycle

A disciplined response from first alert to lessons learned.

01

Triage

Validate the incident, establish communication, define immediate priorities and determine which evidence must be preserved.

02

Contain

Stop active attacker access and limit further impact while maintaining the evidence needed for investigation.

03

Investigate

Analyze endpoints, logs, identities and other available data to reconstruct the attack and determine exposure.

04

Eradicate

Remove persistence, malicious tooling, compromised access and root causes that would allow the attacker to return.

05

Recover

Restore services in a controlled sequence and monitor closely for signs of recurrence.

06

Improve

Document lessons learned and convert them into security architecture, monitoring, process and governance improvements.

Why CRATOS CAN

A response capability that connects technical action with executive decisions.

Incidents require both deep technical work and clear stakeholder communication.

Experienced response coordination

Structured incident handling reduces confusion and gives teams a single response rhythm.

Forensics-aware execution

Evidence preservation is considered from the beginning so decisions do not destroy what is needed later.

Integrated security context

Incident response can connect with SOC, EDR, vulnerability management and security architecture services.

Management-ready communication

Decision-makers receive concise explanations of impact, containment status, recovery priorities and next risks.

Flexible engagement model

Support can be used for an active incident, retained preparedness or as part of a broader managed-security arrangement.

Your direct benefits

Measurable value for security teams and decision-makers.

Fast help in an emergency

Bring structure and expert support to the first critical hours of an incident.

Minimized impact

Contain malicious activity faster and reduce avoidable downtime, data loss and operational disruption.

Defensible documentation

Maintain a clear incident record for governance, insurers, legal teams and applicable reporting needs.

Cost-efficient readiness

Access specialized incident-response expertise without maintaining a full internal team around the clock.

Next step

Build a cyber emergency capability before you need it.
