iDefense^® Incident Response Services

Extending Incident Response Capabilities Through Actionable Intelligence

An unavoidable truth of enterprise information security is that incidents and breeches will occur. Whilst the ultimate goal of the security team is to avoid these incidents, a more realistic focus is to combine prevention with a solid plan for response. However, the reality is that most organisations cannot staff for chance incidents.

VeriSign iDefense provides services that complement and extend an organisation’s incident processes, techniques and response. In the event of a breach or security event, iDefense security threat analysts act as an embedded part of an incident response programme by providing near real-time automated analysis of malicious code, in-depth human analysis of malicious code and forensic capabilities.
