Bringing cybersecurity globally to critical and complex key activities
In a digital environment that is increasingly complex and exposed to cyber threats, businesses need to be able to respond quickly and effectively to security incidents. Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) makes it possible to analyse and respond to security incidents, while keeping the digital evidence essential for understanding and resolving attacks.
With cyber attacks on the increase, Thales' recognised expertise in DFIR is a key lever for securing digital assets and ensuring your company's resilience. We offer a structured, tried-and-tested approach which guarantees a rapid, accurate response tailored to critical environments whether they are IT, OT or Cloud infrastructures.
Because not every incident looks alike, we believe that different levels of response are necessary, evaluating each time the severity and the potential impact associated for critical infrastructures.
Responding to incidents requires a team that knows how to solve the problem and has solved many incidents for clients of different sizes or industries.
At Thales, we bring unparalleled value to Cyber Incident Response support, recognising the critical need for swift and effective resolution in the face of evolving cyber threats. Our dedicated teams, strategically positioned worldwide, provide close support for security managers, ensuring a comprehensive response to incidents.
In a security incident, the DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) approach is essential for ensuring an effective and controlled response.
The first stage of DFIR involves precise identification of the attack, in-depth analysis of its mechanism of action and an understanding of the number of systems affected. This initial investigation phase is fundamental to developing an effective response and limiting the repercussions of the incident.
Effective incident response plans are essential for minimising the impact of a cyber attack on your business. These plans embody best practice in threat management and the optimisation of response processes. Adopting a robust DFIR approach is a key lever for identifying vulnerabilities, strengthening resilience to threats and improving your organisation's long-term cybersecurity.
This is what our team will provide to help you be prepared in case of an emergency, ensuring they fully understand your business and have defined the right procedures in advance, tailored to the specifics of your infrastructure.
Secondly, DFIR focuses on the systematic collection of compromised data while preserving the integrity of the evidence. This information is essential for any criminal investigations and for the long-term reinforcement of security strategies.
Through meticulous analysis and rigorous traceability, Thales experts identify the attack techniques used and implement appropriate preventive measures. This expertise in digital forensics enables organisations to detect and correct exploited vulnerabilities, optimise their defences and significantly reduce their exposure to cyber threats.
Once the incident has been detected, the DFIR response phase is triggered. The aim of this stage is to contain the attack, restore the affected systems and implement corrective measures to prevent any recurrence. The response must be rapid, coordinated and firmly focused on data protection and business continuity.
Incident response also includes the application of containment strategies designed to stop the ongoing attack while enabling in-depth analysis of the attack pathways to identify the causes.
Thales applies a multi-level approach:
Alert filtering: identify the real threats in the daily flow of alerts.
In-depth analysis: if an attack is suspected, our experts conduct a detailed investigation.
Rapid action: as soon as lateral movements or threats to sensitive data are detected, our teams act immediately to contain the compromise.
Several levels of operational incident response in order to help you treat proportionally each alert or threat
Because every incident is unique, we offer a flexible, tailored approach:
If you already have a crisis management team, we can bring our specialist expertise into your existing processes.
If your company does not have a dedicated team, we can take charge of the entire incident response process.
Whatever the situation, we work closely with your teams to align efforts, reinforce your safety protocols and ensure a rapid, coordinated and effective response.
Thales mobilises its teams of DFIR consultants around the world, to guarantee a 24/7 rapid response, whatever your sector of activity. Our international presence means that we are able to respond effectively to the most complex security incidents in a variety of technological environments, while complying with the regulatory requirements specific to each region.
Our experienced CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) teams, members of the main CERTs groups worldwide, have already dealt with thousands of incidents, reinforcing our expertise in detecting, analysing and responding to cyber attacks.
Our DFIR services are based on:
Advanced tools and technologies for digital investigation and threat detection.
