Solutionary Formalizes Critical Incident Response Services Offering

OMAHA, NE--(Marketwired - Nov 21, 2013) - Solutionary, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Group (NYSE: NTT) and the leading pure-play managed security services provider (MSSP), today announced that it has formalized its Critical Incident Response Services (CIRS) due to increased client demand for incident response preparedness. The new offerings include Incident Response Planning, Incident Response Plan Testing, Forensics and Malware Analysis.

Solutionary CIRS are available at different service levels to align with organizational and regulatory requirements. These service levels are focused on incident response preparation and provide guaranteed reaction time for addressing and managing security incidents. CIRS are also available on-demand for organizations experiencing a security incident.

The Solutionary Security Engineering Research Team (SERT) delivers proactive preparedness services to help clients prepare for security incidents before they happen. Taking a proactive approach to incident response can drastically improve an organization's security posture. The ability to respond to incidents quickly and efficiently is critically important to prevent the spread of the incident and to minimize impact.

Incident response preparation is also part of many information security regulations and frameworks. Organizations able to prove the effectiveness of their incident response capabilities can meet requirements and demonstrate a higher level of commitment to meeting compliance requirements.

SERT experts work with clients to create incident response plans and to test them, ensuring that organizations can respond with maximum speed and effectiveness.

"Solutionary has always delivered critical incident response services to our clients," said Rob Kraus, director of research, SERT. "Now that more clients understand the value of proactive preparedness for security incidents, we have formalized services to assist clients with incident response preparedness, so that they will be ready in advance for a security incident."

Solutionary Log Monitoring Service clients receive added benefit from CIRS because log and alert data, in addition to the resultant analysis and correlation, are readily available through the ActiveGuard® Security and Compliance Platform. This makes it easier for responders to investigate security incidents, shortening the mitigation timeline.

All Solutionary Log Monitoring clients also receive full Log Management services. Solutionary retains 100 percent of collected and analyzed logs for one year. Retained logs are stored in a forensically-sound repository in the cloud, making them available for forensics in the event of a security incident. Having detailed logs is an important piece of incident response.
