Cloud Incident Response
Immediate containment and deep forensic analysis for breaches within AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
Book AssessmentRapid Containment & Recovery in Distributed Environments
When a cloud environment is breached, time is the ultimate variable. Attackers utilizing automated scripts can enumerate your entire architecture, escalate IAM privileges, and exfiltrate terabytes of data from S3 or Blob storage in a matter of minutes.
Atgardas Cloud Incident Response teams are specialized in cloud-native forensics. We respond to AWS, Azure, and GCP compromises to establish immediate containment. We revoke compromised identities, isolate breached containers, and preserve highly volatile container and serverless logs before they automatically overwrite.
Our engineers integrate directly with your cloud control plane to neutralize the threat, perform root-cause analysis, and deploy immediate architectural fixes to prevent reinfection during recovery.
Key Benefits & Deliverables
Rapid IAM Containment
Immediate isolation of compromised over-permissive roles, stopping lateral movement without taking the entire production environment offline.
Volatile Log Preservation
Securing CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Kubernetes audit logs before the attacker can disable or delete the operational trail.
Blast Radius Assessment
Determining exactly which databases, storage buckets, and API endpoints the attacker accessed during the intrusion.
Engagement Process
Triage & Containment
Identifying the compromised resources and initiating immediate network isolation and credential revocation.
Log Acquisition
Extracting cloud telemetry, VPC flow logs, and instance memory for offline forensic analysis.
Threat Eradication
Removing backdoors, malicious Lambda functions, and unauthorized cross-account trust policies.
Secure Recovery
Rebuilding compromised infrastructure using secure-by-default configurations and hardened IAM policies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Specialized emergency response focused entirely on breaches within cloud infrastructure.
Yes, our team consists of senior engineers certified across all three major platforms.
Remote triage begins within 1 hour of engagement signing.
It depends heavily on your backup architecture, snapshot retention, and storage versioning policies.
Yes, container escape and cluster compromise forensics are a core capability.
We aim for surgical containment (e.g., revoking specific roles) to minimize business impact.
Yes, we analyze flow logs and storage access records to determine exactly what data left the network.
Initial findings are reported within 24-48 hours; full reports take 1-3 weeks.
Yes, we provide the technical timeline required for GDPR, HIPAA, and SEC disclosures.
Absolutely. Our recovery phase includes hardening and architectural redesign.
