Incident Response Overview

Today’s business leaders are quickly realizing that cyber breaches are inevitable. In the past several years, companies across industries have fallen victim to increasingly sophisticated and targeted attacks designed to disrupt business operations, steal proprietary information, and destroy critical assets.

In fact, a 2014 survey of security professionals found that 43 percent of respondents had suffered a data breach in the past 2 years. As attacks evolve in agility and sophistication, the number of businesses impacted will continue to rise. Though the threat landscape will shift, once reality has become clear: It is not a matter of if, but when, your organization will fall victim to a cyber attack. Leaders must be prepared to meet this threat head on with an incident response (IR) plan to detect, respond, and mitigate a cyber breach. 

At Booz Allen Hamilton, we understand both the threat landscape and how to build response capabilities that allow your organization to thrive despite disruption. We offer a full range of IR solutions to help our clients prepare for and respond to incidents.

Snapshot of Our Offerings

Cyber Fusion Centers

Translating our work from the intelligence community, we help clients integrate all cyber activities into a single entity called Cyber Fusion Centers,. These centers bring together previously disparate groups to boost intelligence, speed incident response, reduce cost, and leverage scarce talent. 

Incident Response Blueprint

Pulling from our decades of deep cyber experience, we developed a standard IR Blueprint–which can be customized to each client's environment–to guide leaders through the process of building and implementing effective incident response, saving time and cutting cost. 

Regulatory Compliance

For some, the move toward better cyber incident response is driven by regulatory compliance. We help you understand the often complex requirements for your industry, determining where you meet the standards and where it makes sense to enhance beyond the basics.
