The four phases of incident response

The world we live in today is fraught with cyber threats, and the risk of cyber incidents is ever-present. You can think of an incident response as containing distinct phases of operation: 

  1. Investigation
    We need to understand what evidence you have that has led you to conclude, or suspect, that you have an incident. In many cases, we are often able to identify incidents as false alarms – these situations are becoming more common, as people jump to conclusions, blaming external attacks for IT system failures. Conversely, we can help identify and confirm attacks where you may have no reliable intrusion detection capabilities.

  2. Containment
    Once an attack is understood, it is vital that the attack route, and related vulnerabilities, are removed and systems secured. Breach investigations usually find a wide range of security weaknesses, and immediate action is needed to secure these. In some cases, evidence is uncovered of multiple historic breaches that have remained undetected.

  3. Recovery

    Restoring IT systems and related business functions is clearly a top priority in limiting the financial impact of a breach. Decisions need to be taken regarding when to shut systems down, and, more importantly, when it is safe to turn them back on. The right incident support can help facilitate these important decisions.

  4. Communication
    Calm, timely communications (internally and, where required, externally) is a critical senior management function. Our role is to guide you, help develop content and rehearse for potentially challenging media attention.

Wavenet’s role in your incident 

The role of external experts in a breach response can be wide-ranging. However, we see our role as assessing the nature of your problem, understanding your response capability, and providing timely expertise to fill the gaps and resolve the incident.  

The following are examples of the types of management activities that Wavenet can perform, where required:  

  • Direct internal and external response team actions  
  • Provide regular update briefings to senior executives  
  • Liaise with external agencies, such as the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and law enforcement  
  • Design external customer communications  
  • Co-ordinate with your internal or external legal advisers  
  • Interview staff  
  • Instigate actions with third-party service providers and system vendors  

Technical actions depend upon the nature of the incident. However, some common activities include:  

  • Network traffic capture and analysis  
  • Review of system logs  
  • Forensic imaging of systems  
  • Suspicious file investigation  
  • Network vulnerability scanning  
  • User communication review  
  • User behaviour review  
  • Account activity checks
