Active Breach Containment.
If you suspect an active ransomware deployment, unauthorized access, or widespread data exfiltration, cease internal communications and initiate incident response immediately.
Initiate Secure Contact
Email us immediately. An Incident Commander will establish a secure, out-of-band communication bridge within minutes to halt adversary movement.
Immediate Directives
Disconnect, Do Not Shutdown
Isolate affected machines from the network to halt lateral movement, but keep them powered on. Powering off destroys volatile memory artifacts crucial for our forensic timeline.
Cease Internal Communications
Assume the adversary is monitoring your network. Stop discussing the incident on corporate Slack, Teams, or O365 email. Transition immediately to secure, external communication platforms.
Do Not Restore from Backups Yet
Restoring blindly will often result in immediate reinfection and destruction of evidence. We must eradicate the adversary's persistence mechanisms before initiating recovery.
Active Breach FAQ
Critical answers for management and IT teams currently experiencing a cyber crisis.
Isolate affected systems from the network (pull physical cables or disable virtual NICs) but DO NOT power them down. Powering down destroys volatile RAM memory, which is critical for digital forensics and identifying the entry vector.
No. Rebooting often triggers secondary payloads in ransomware or wipes temporary footholds we need to trace the adversary. Leave the systems running but disconnected from the network.
Our Command Center operates 24/7. Upon email contact, an Incident Commander will be assigned to your case immediately to establish secure out-of-band communications and begin remote triage within minutes.
Do not initiate contact with or pay the threat actor before consulting with incident responders and specialized legal counsel. Premature negotiation can accelerate data leaks or result in failed decryption.
Assume your internal communications (Exchange, Slack, Teams) are compromised. Contact us from an external, secure email address (like a personal ProtonMail or Gmail) or a dedicated out-of-band mobile device.
