Given the constant innovation and complexities generated by the modern threat landscape, it has become more difficult than ever to properly protect your environment. In most cases it’s not a question of if your organization will be forced to fend off a major attack or breach, but rather how you’ll respond when one finally does occur. Delays in action, procedural/configuration errors, and/or a weakened security posture can significantly increase the impact of a security incident in a number of different ways.
- Temporary loss of access to critical data and systems
- Potential permanent loss or public exposure of sensitive data and backups
- Damage to company reputation with customers and partners
- Costs to restore operations (paying ransomware or hiring outside help for assistance)
- Purchase of additional security solutions, services, and training to prevent future attacks
- Increase in cyber insurance premiums and legal fees
Many unprepared or under-prepared organizations do not survive a substantial attack on their environment. The best way to protect your assets, mitigate risk, and maintain compliance is by partnering with Fortis and our Incident Response offerings.
Why Fortis?
Experience matters – The elite specialists from Fortis have performed triage, incident response, and remediation for hundreds of organizations across many different industries.

Proven strategy – The Fortis team understands the current threat landscape and bases the tools and methodologies we use on industry best practices. Our incident response experts use best-of-breed security products in order to contain a threat, then work with you to restore operations, reduce the attack vector, and perform forensics analysis so you can recover quickly.
Analysis and reporting – It’s important to obtain as many details as possible about an attack on your organization, so you can understand how the bad actor gained access to your environment, what actions they took and damage they caused once inside, along with guidance on ways to prevent this from happening again in the future. Fortis specialists conduct a forensics analysis and detail all IR findings in documentation that can be used as a building block to further harden your security posture.
