Incident Response Testing & Capability Analysis

Be Prepared: Test Your Incident Response Plan

Minimizing the duration, disruption and cost of a security breach is the result of a strong Computer Incident Response Plan (CIRP) in place before a security breach occurs.

Through exercises and real-world simulations, Dell SecureWorks Incident Response security experts can test and evaluate your Incident Response procedures and plan and how well your team responds to an attack.

Testing of your Computer Incident Response Plan ensures that your team is familiar with procedures and identifies areas for improvement. This testing and analysis will ensure your team is ready to act when a major security incident occurs.

Reduce the costs of a security breach to your organization

A security breach has a bottom line impact to any organization. It will cost your organization money through lost productivity and opportunity, lost sales activity and damage to your reputation and brand. A security breach can also erode the credibility of IT in the eyes of executives. 

Through the Dell SecureWorks Incident Response Testing & Capability Analysis Service, our consultants work with you to test the effectiveness of your Incident Response Plan. Through our CIRP Capability Assessment, tabletop exercises and war gaming simulation, we evaluate your team's plans and capacity to respond and contain a major security breach. Simulations are based on our real-world experiences and are designed to stress and assess your team and procedures during an incident. During both tabletop exercises and war gaming simulations, we educate you and your team on Incident Response best practices.  In the end, your team is primed for an actual security incident with an Incident Response Plan that is proven through a robust evaluation process. 

Heighten the security expertise of your organization

Having an Incident Response Plan in place is a crucial first step to ensuring that your team has the information and processes needed to respond to a security breach. However, most organizations lack the ability to perform self-testing to determine their true preparedness when faced with a security breach.

Through the Dell SecureWorks Incident Response Testing & Capability Analysis Service, our consultants can put your team through the paces and provide valuable insights and guidance along the way.

Through our tabletop and “War Gaming” exercises, your team is subjected to simulations based on what we see happening in the cyber-world today. We show you ways that your systems and network could be breached and countermeasures you can use to combat attempts to penetrate your defenses. We show you the critical steps you need to take during an actual security breach that will help you contain the threat as quickly and as effectively as possible.

In the end, you and your team have a heightened level of expertise and understanding about the threats your organization can face and how to combat and respond to them.

Available Incident Response Testing & Capability Analysis services:

CIRP Capability Assessment

More in-depth than CIRP Gap Analysis, CIRP Capability Analysis involves onsite interviews and tabletop scenarios that assess your team's preparedness against real-life threat vectors such as DDOS, APT, malware, insider threat, etc.

Walkthrough Exercise

Our Incident Response security experts will review your incident response procedures, design and conduct plausible simulated exercises, and evaluate your team’s performance. Afterwards, we will provide detailed feedback and recommendations for improvement.

War Gaming

War Game exercises are typically done after table top exercises have been completed, and recommendations adopted. Dell SecureWorks security experts will work carefully with you to mock-up a scenario based on the latest trends and threats we see.

Incident Response Retainer Service

A best practice for many organizations is to retain Incident Response services that can be called upon when a breach occurs. Reserved at a prepaid rate, retained response services are an affordable way to guarantee availability and support from highly skilled resources when you need it most.

It is recommended that some form of testing of yout Incident Response Plan be performed regularly to ensure that you stay familiar with incident response procedures and to assess if there is a need for modification to the plan.
