Incident Handling & Forensics
Responding to Cyber Threats Quickly and Effectively
When a security breach occurs, a fast and effective cybersecurity incident response is critical to minimize damage. Delays can lead to financial losses, data theft, and reputational harm.
QSecure provides incident handling and forensic investigation services to help your business detect, contain, and recover from cyber incidents. Our goal is to restore normal operations quickly while identifying security gaps to prevent future attacks.
What is Incident Handling & Forensics?
Incident handling is the structured process of managing and resolving cybersecurity threats such as malware infections, data breaches, and unauthorized access. A strong security incident management plan ensures businesses can respond to attacks efficiently and reduce disruption.
Digital forensics is the investigation of cyber incidents to determine how they occurred, what data was compromised, and who was responsible.
Our forensic experts analyze system logs, network activity, and digital evidence to track attackers and support legal or compliance requirements.
Together, incident response and forensics help businesses recover from attacks and strengthen their security posture against future threats.
Common Security Incidents Businesses Face
Cybercriminals use various methods to compromise organizations.
QSecure provides cyber incident response services to help businesses handle threats such as:
Unauthorized access to sensitive business or customer data
Malware that encrypts data and demands a ransom for decryption
Emails or messages that trick employees into sharing confidential information
Employees or contractors misusing their access for malicious purposes
Overloading systems to disrupt services
Long-term attacks targeting sensitive business assets
Exposures caused by misconfigured cloud services
Without proper threat detection and response, these attacks can cause significant damage to business operations and customer trust.
Our Incident Response Process
At QSecure, we follow a structured incident response and forensics process to ensure a swift and effective resolution.
Threat Detection and Identification
Early threat detection and response are key to stopping cyberattacks before they escalate. This step is usually performed by the client, unless our Security Operation Center (SOC) team monitors systems and network activity for suspicious behavior.
Containment and Damage Control
Once a security breach is detected, we take immediate action to contain the threat. This may include:
- Isolating infected devices
- Blocking malicious network traffic
- Disabling compromised user accounts
- Quick cyber attack response prevents further damage and protects unaffected systems.
Incident Investigation and Forensic Analysis
Our forensic investigation services determine the root cause of the attack by analyzing:
- How hackers gained access
- Which systems and data were compromised
- The tactics and tools used by attackers
With advanced digital forensics, we uncover valuable details to strengthen security and prevent similar incidents in the future.
Threat Removal and System Recovery
After the investigation, we eliminate all traces of the attack, including:
- Removing malware and backdoors
- Restoring clean backups
- Applying security patches and corrective measures
This ensures businesses can resume normal operations without the risk of reinfection.
Compliance Reporting and Documentation
Many industries require organizations to document and report security incidents. We assist with compliance by providing detailed reports for:
- Regulatory authorities (e.g., NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001)
- Internal security teams
- Legal investigations
Post-Incident Review and Future Prevention
After resolving the incident, and upon request, we conduct a thorough review of security policies, practices and technical controls to help client organizations improve their overall defense strategy and security posture.
The Importance of Digital Forensics
Digital forensics plays a vital role in understanding and preventing cyber incidents. With advanced forensic investigation services, businesses can:
-Recover lost or stolen data
-Identify vulnerabilities and security gaps
-Track malicious activity across systems
-Preserve evidence for legal action or regulatory compliance
Our data breach investigation team helps organizations uncover hidden threats and initial access points and ensure attackers do not return or new ones get in through the same entry point.
Why Every Business Needs an Incident Response Plan?
Without a structured security incident management plan, organizations risk severe
consequences from cyberattacks, including:
Financial losses
Downtime, legal fees, and recovery costs
Reputation damage
Losing customer trust due to data breaches
Regulatory penalties
Fines for non-compliance with security laws
A strong cyber incident response services plan ensures businesses can:
-Detect threats early and respond quickly
-Minimize downtime and financial losses
-Improve long-term security with lessons learned from each attack
