Incident Response & Penetration Testing

What We Deliver

Facing a cyber-attack? Don’t panic. We can help you to respond to a developing cyber-security incident, helping contain the threat and avoid making things worse

When you’re the victim of a cyber-attack, it can be a frightening and difficult time. And while an incident is in progress, it can be all too easy to act rashly and make things worse than they might have been.

So whether you’re the victim of ransomware or you’re concerned about data that’s been compromised or lost, please don’t panic. Instead, call Redpalm – because it’s better to follow expert advice than struggle on alone and get things wrong.

Please don’t feel embarrassed to call. We’ll walk you through what to do and what not to do right now, to avoid making things worse – and provide access to the digital forensics you need, to help contain the threat and reduce the risk of a repeat.

Incident Response: Benefits To You

Access the digital forensics you need
Access the digital forensics you need

If you’re under attack, we’ll get you access to a digital forensics specialist as quickly as we can, to try to understand what’s happened and the type of threat you’re facing. Going forward, a forensics specialist can then confirm what’s happening, with a view to containing the threat and reducing the risk of it happening again. The work includes examining system data, user activity and other digital evidence, while collecting and preserving the evidence that’s needed.

Reduce the risk of a repeat

Once you know how the threat came on to your network, you can address the issue and reduce the risk of it happening again. The forensics report will detail the event, including how the cyber-attack started in the first place – and we can advise on further measures.
