Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)
Quickly getting you back to normal operations
is just the beginning.
Delivering detailed documentation about the attack,
how it happened, and ensuring it doesn’t happen again.
Assura’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) team is methodical in our approach to these cyber emergencies. First and foremost, our priority is to stop the bleeding, find out what happened, and restore systems to normal operations as soon as possible. We treat the digital environment just like a crime scene, because that’s exactly what it is. And like all crimes, the perpetrators leave a trail of evidence behind that needs to be thoroughly analyzed to truly understand the scope and depth of the attack. This thoroughness ensures that the bad guys are cleared out of the environment for good and that the attack path they used is secured.

How we’ve helped to protect industries like yours.
A university approached Assura with a unique challenge that most other organizations don’t have. Because they employ students to help run various aspects of the school, they needed a way to ensure these work-study employees didn’t accidentally put the university’s data at risk.
With attacks on municipalities on the rise, a midsized county in Virginia knew it needed to improve its cybersecurity posture. The problem was they were not sure where to begin. So they enlisted our services to help them determine their strengths and vulnerabilities.
Organizations are inundated with hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities every year. After years of experience, we know most organizations can only patch about 1 in 10 (10%) vulnerabilities discovered in their environment based on resource capacity.
