WithSecure launches new range of incident response and readiness services
May 2023 by Marc Jacob
The first 72 hours of an attack are a crucial window for incident response teams. To support organizations in preparing a swift, efficient response to incidents while minimizing their impact on operations, WithSecure™ (formerly known as F-Secure Business) is offering a new range of incident readiness and response packages.
Incident response is more challenging than ever. Cloud services complicate IT security, skills are scarce, and responsibilities are shared with cloud service providers.
Based on his experience, Cyber Security Advisor Paul Brucciani says that in spite of cyber attacks’ ubiquity, many mid-market organizations find themselves unprepared for incidents when they occur.
WithSecure™ has a strong record of providing incident response services to organizations large and small throughout the globe. It has over 30 years of experience in helping organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from data breaches. Its incident response capability is assured by government agencies in Germany* and the UK**.
The new range of incident response offerings include three different but related services:
• Incident Readiness that exercises and improves incident response capabilities without disrupting operations.
• Incident Response Retainer that provides priority access to incident response experts—with special focus on the first 72 hours following an incident, even during industry-wide events and other periods of high demand.
• Emergency Incident Response Support that provides available resources for organizations that call when needed.
