Why You Need Cyber Incident Response Services **Cyber incident response services** help organizations contain, investigate, and recover from data breaches and cyberattacks. As ransomware, phishing campaigns, and advanced persistent threats continue to increase, businesses must be prepared to respond quickly and effectively when an incident occurs. A cyber incident response partner is your knight in shining armor, so you don’t have to feel like a damsel in distress. This article will discuss why engaging a security partner for cyber incident response services will reduce your business downtime, improve the cyber resilience in your organizational structure, and decrease the chances of successful events from occurring, so let’s jump right in. ## **Cyber Incident Response** A cyber incident response makes up part of an organization’s cyber risk strategy. If your business is familiar with conducting vulnerability risk assessments, threat landscaping, or gap analysis, then it will feel comfortable with cyber incident response. These ingredients make up a large portion of the cyber incident response strategy. All the tools mentioned above act as a mechanism to prevent serious breaches, without them damages could be severe if not fatal. When the organization is prepared, the risk of cyberattacks is mitigated but not expunged. This is where an incident response plan (IRP) comes into play. No matter how well prepared we are, cyberattacks or data breaches are a matter of when not if. For this reason alone, hiring cyber incident response services should be made a priority. But without only looking at the necessity, we will explore the benefits of having a partner at hand. ### **Cyber Incident Response Services** As mentioned briefly, cyber incident response services are dedicated professionals who undertake the organization’s responsibilities during, or after, the event of a data breach. It is a way for an organization to outsource its cyber risk management obligations to a third-party who knows what it is doing. Assess your cybersecurity **What to expect from****cyber incident response services** In the best of cases, you engage them before a breach to maximize their efficiency. * Threat Detection that is industry-specific * Incident response planning * Vulnerability management * Cybersecurity gap analysis * Staff awareness * Physical security * And more. * Compliance services, interfacing during events with the correct authorities These are a few things you can expect a cybersecurity partner to perform. Some organizations might have the resources to carry out some, if not all of the tasks listed above, but somethings to keep a note of: * The provider will have cyber industry knowledge; keeping up to date on cyber-related news in your industry saps time from business operations * The services are tailored made, meaning they can see risk where you cannot. * The partner uses purpose-built tech and managed services. * They will often have 1st hand experience in cyber crisis management, which is incredibly valuable. In the coming sections, we will discuss some of the more nuanced features and benefits of employing a managed cyber-service provider. ### **Too Busy To Be Busy** As an organization within your industry, you are pioneers and innovators. Keeping up with the latest news and updates within your industry should be your priority. Cybersecurtiy related news, however, is something a lot of industries must be concerned with, but rarely have the time or resources to keep up to date on. This is where cyber incident response services come in. In the best scenario, you have already partnered with a cybersecurity firm and have developed an IRP. In this case, your organization is much more prepared than your peers, and the chances of breach even being successful has reduced drastically, already saving you time and money. But in situations where that has not happened, a breach could be devastating. It could harm the reputation, valuation, or business operations of the organization. Cyber incident response services are designed to be ready at the drop of a hat. If you have been breached, then getting the business up and running again will be your top priority. But you shouldn’t have to be the one running around finding leaks or vulnerabilities. ### **Cyber Resilience Booster Shots** Let’s map out a scenario where an organization never experiences a data breach. What would be the point of an IRP or employing cyber incident response services? The short answer is that preparedness is a process and not a means to an end, let’s explore. When it comes to cybersecurity, you can never be too prepared. In hiring a partner, you should look out for the qualities mentioned above (in Cyber incident response services). These qualities are what will ultimately boost the cyber resilience of the organization. The services of a cybersecurity partner will inject their own experience into the incident response project. Bringing this experience to your business will integrate a state of cyber awareness through osmosis, which means a security culture develops. This culture will help reduce long-term costs as the risk management aspect of cybersecurity becomes part of its ongoings. This means you spend less on awareness training while also mitigate risks associated with staff vulnerabilities. ### **Costs, Costs, Costs** Fundamentally, the role of risk management should be to reduce costs. Most organizations, in an era of lean, are looking for ways to reduce overheads. Cyber incident response services can be a way to do that. In the previous section, we briefly mentioned how a cybersecurity partner’s experience could permeate the organization, ultimately reducing long term costs. Still, there are direct short-term cost benefits that they also provide. Data breaches carry a hefty price, whether it is capital or reputation. The prevention and mitigation of damages provided by cyber services directly impact the organization’s overall cost. Some reports show a cost reduction of around $2 Million, where an incident response team was present during the event. Let’s not forget that successful preparation could prevent a data breach from occurring, saving even more time and money. These are a few ways cyber incident response services could save you current and future costs. ### **Recap and Our Managed Services** The fallout of a data breach has been found to cost industries $3.16 Million. There is an increasing need for all organizations to integrate cyber incident responses into their cyber risk strategy. Employing the expertise and experience cyber incident response services your organization can benefit from: * * **Time-saving** : not needing to be constantly aware of industry-specific vulnerabilities and cyber-related news * **Increased organizational cyber resilience : your cybersecurity partner can inject a boost of experience into your organization, increasing awareness and reducing long term costs** * **Overall cost reductions** : cyber incident response services can reduce costs directly related to a data breach.

What is a Hardened Baseline Configuration? Attackers and exploits pose constant threats to the security of an organization’s systems and data. Navigating all the aspects of securing a system and implementing controls is an involved process that’s never finished, as threats are always evolving. A hardened baseline configuration will mitigate attacks and reduce the impact of incidents against your organization’s systems. **** ## ## **What is System Hardening?** **System hardening** refers to reducing a system’s vulnerability to exploits by reducing its attack surface. The **attack surface** of a system refers to the points “where an attacker can try to enter, cause an effect on, or extract data.” System hardening can be accomplished through system patches, turning off unused or unneeded services, and implementing appropriate configurations. ## ** What is a****Hardened Baseline Configuration****?** One of the challenges of system hardening is the fact that there is no perfect set of security controls for every setting and situation. The baseline configuration is the set of controls that have been selected and implemented to provide the most robust possible general level of system hardening. Additional controls and measures will be needed beyond the baseline configuration, but it serves as a starting point. ## ** The Benefits of a****Hardened Baseline Configuration** Using a hardened baseline configuration lays the foundation for robust system hardening and provides the following benefits: * **Setting an organization-wide standard** – Establishing a hardened baseline configuration to be used across the entire organization will make it easier to manage system hardening within a large, expanding, or distributed network. * **Defining a reliable default configuration** – The controls and settings defined in a hardened baseline configuration provide an approved minimum level of system hardening that can function as the default starting point for any new systems or resets. * **Reducing system attack surface** – A hardened baseline configuration will ensure that any new additions to the network will already have a reduced attack surface, keeping the environment more secure as things change. * **Streamlining audits** – A hardened baseline configuration reduces complexity and eliminates unneeded accounts and software from the start, making systems easier to analyze during audits. * **Simplifying testing** – A less complex, streamlined environment will also be easier to test, and a defined baseline configuration can serve as a useful benchmark for testing. * **Improving system efficacy** – Removing unnecessary and redundant accounts and software frees up system resources, improving function and efficiency. A hardened baseline configuration facilitates deeper and broader cybersecurity maturity. Request a Free Consultation ## ** How To Establish a****Hardened Baseline Configuration** There are many **factors to take into consideration** when defining the hardened baseline configuration for your organization. Five of the most critical considerations are: ### **1. Business and Technology Requirements** The system must be hardened while still providing all necessary functions to those who access it. Cooperate with leadership, staff, and other stakeholders to confirm organizational goals and determine what access and capabilities are needed to facilitate daily activities in support of those goals. This discovery process will inform what hardware, software, accounts, and settings are necessary to ensure all parties can complete their tasks while maintaining baseline security. ### ** 2. Compliance Requirements** A certain level of hardening may be required to remain compliant with regulations. If your organization is subject to any legal or industry regulations (e.g., HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, NIST, etc.), you’ll need to determine how their requirements may affect your hardened baseline configuration and tailor security controls, protocols, and systems accordingly. ### ** 3. Internal Protocols** The organization’s existing and future security policy will guide all security decisions, including the system hardening process. Consider the requirements of the organization’s security policy and establish the baseline configuration to align with those policies and procedures. ### ** 4.****System Hardening Standards** Organizations like **The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)** and The **Center for Internet Security (CIS)** provide operating system hardening standards and other hardening standards to guide baseline controls and additional system hardening measures. Use these resources to ensure the hardened baseline configuration defined for your organization follows best practices and meets industry standards. ### ** 5. Existing Configurations** In addition to standards, the CIS also provides hardened system images, and some solution providers also provide reliable, hardened baseline configurations. Consider whether and how these resources, as they are, already meet the needs of your organization. If they do, they can help you prevent the implementation challenges of a _custom_ hardened baseline configuration. ## ** The Next Steps After Implementing a****Hardened Baseline Configuration** Determining your organization’s needs and setting up systems with a hardened baseline configuration is just the first step in protecting against long-term threats. It’s essential to follow **system hardening** best practices to eliminate remaining vulnerabilities, further reduce threats, and enhance future resiliency against attackers. RSI’s Managed Security Services will help minimize vulnerabilities in your organization’s systems even as threats evolve. ### ** Use Managed Security to Protect Your Systems Against Threats** Determining all the necessary controls to protect your organization’s systems against threats takes time and ongoing effort. Establishing a hardened baseline configuration will help simplify things at the start. Even with well-defined system hardening standards and resources available, figuring out the best system hardening steps to decrease the ways attackers can try to access or damage your systems is a challenge. **Contact RSI Security today** to optimize your baseline! ### **Download Our CYBER TREAT HUNTING DataSheets** ##
