Emergency Incident Response
You’ve been hacked? We have local teams across Asia who can help you right now.
What is incident response?
An incident refers to an event or unauthorised activity that compromises the security of computer systems, networks or data. Incident response is a little like digital firefighting.
When a cyber attack or breach occurs, responders step in to contain the attack, identify the threat and extinguish it. As part of incident response, specialists attempt to minimise the impact of the incident by isolating the affected systems, investigating the cause, and restoring normal operations as quickly as possible.
The ultimate goal is to minimise an organisation’s financial loss, protect sensitive information, and maintain the continuity of operations.

Quick facts: Know your incident types
While cyber risks are numerous and evolving, there are some common attacks that organisations need to be mindful of:
Business email compromise
Fraudsters impersonate legitimate business entities to deceive individuals into transferring funds or revealing sensitive information via email.
Malware
Short for malicious software. Designed to infiltrate or damage computer systems, often aiming to disrupt, steal data, or gain unauthorised access.
Ransomware
Often making headlines in the news, ransomware is malware that encrypts files or locks computer systems, demanding a ransom payment in exchange for restoring access.
Data breach
Unauthorised access to and exposure of sensitive information, either of internal organisational data or of third parties such as customers, clients and vendors.
Insider threat
