Incident Containment
We move fast to cut off an active attacker, isolate affected systems and stop the spread, buying back control of your environment while preserving the evidence you will need afterwards.
We stop the bleeding without destroying the evidence
Containment is a balance. Cut too little and the attacker keeps moving; cut too much and you lose the forensic trail and your own operations. Our team knows where to draw that line and acts decisively to hold it.
Network Isolation
Targeted segmentation and blocking to cut the attacker off from the systems they are moving toward.
Access Revocation
Disabling of compromised accounts, tokens and keys to shut down the attacker’s means of access.
Lateral Movement Control
Identification and blocking of the paths an attacker uses to spread deeper into your environment.
Evidence Preservation
Capture of volatile data and system state before containment so the investigation stays intact.
Foothold Removal
Elimination of backdoors, scheduled tasks and persistence that would let the attacker return.
Safe Restoration
Verified, staged return of systems to service once we are confident the threat is out.
The Goal Is to Take Back Control Without Handing the Attacker a Warning Shot.
During an active intrusion, the urge to unplug everything is strong, and understandable. The problem is that clumsy containment tips off the attacker, who then races to do maximum damage, and it often wipes the very evidence you need to understand the breach. Effective containment is quieter and more precise: isolate what matters, close the routes the attacker is using, and do it in the right order.
Our team has done this under pressure and knows the sequence that works. We move quickly to segment networks, revoke compromised access and cut off lateral movement, while capturing volatile evidence before it disappears. We coordinate closely with your staff so operations stay up wherever possible, then support a staged, verified return to service once we are sure the attacker no longer has a way in. The aim is control regained, with the trail intact for what comes next.
Standards and Frameworks We Follow
- Our containment work follows the containment, eradication and recovery phase of the NIST SP 800-61 incident handling lifecycle.
- We map the attacker’s lateral movement and persistence to MITRE ATT&CK, so every action we take is aimed at a technique we can see in your environment.
- We preserve evidence to the ACPO principles for digital evidence, so containment never compromises a later forensic investigation or regulatory report.
Aligned to the frameworks that matter
Our testing follows the methodologies that set the global standard for application security.
