Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)
Quickly getting you back to normal operations
is just the beginning.
Delivering detailed documentation about the attack,
how it happened, and ensuring it doesn’t happen again.
Assura’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) team is methodical in our approach to these cyber emergencies. First and foremost, our priority is to stop the bleeding, find out what happened, and restore systems to normal operations as soon as possible. We treat the digital environment just like a crime scene, because that’s exactly what it is. And like all crimes, the perpetrators leave a trail of evidence behind that needs to be thoroughly analyzed to truly understand the scope and depth of the attack. This thoroughness ensures that the bad guys are cleared out of the environment for good and that the attack path they used is secured.

How we’ve helped to protect industries like yours.
A university approached Assura with a unique challenge that most other organizations don’t have. Because they employ students to help run various aspects of the school, they needed a way to ensure these work-study employees didn’t accidentally put the university’s data at risk.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) challenged the Commonwealth of Virginia with helping to secure elections and making government localities cyber secure. Assura was approached by nearly a dozen together needing to overcome the same challenge in the same timeframe, yet each with its unique path to reaching success.
A U.S. government contractor tapped a global company that specialized in workforce mobilization and staffing to create and staff a call center. Typically, this would not have been a significant challenge. However, this happened at the peak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which meant the data center needed to be 100% remote while still being 100% compliant with Federal cybersecurity regulations — seemingly incompatible requirements. Assura had the solution.
