Incident Response
A single phishing email, ill-intentioned employee, or IT misconfiguration can spell disaster for organizations both large and small. Cyber incidents like these can result in significant losses for an organization due to theft of sensitive information including intellectual property and confidential data, brand and reputation damage, significant impacts to customers and partners, as well as direct financial losses and penalties. Deloitte’s elite team of cyber incident responders empower customers to minimize the impact of these incidents to business operations, safeguard sensitive information, and ensure a successful recovery in the wake of a cyber incident.
Full-blown cyber incidents call for the deployment of Deloitte’s incident response experts to defend your organization from threats that include infection by ransomware and other malware, device loss, insider threats, IT misconfiguration, data theft, and espionage. Deloitte’s worldwide presence in 870 locations across 150 countries means that time-sensitive incident response operations can be rapidly carried out.
