Contain the threat and remediate fast

Incident Response

When the worst happens, you need experienced responders who can act immediately. With 24/7 experts on standby, you get seasoned professionals ready to step in the moment an anomaly appears, validate the threat, and begin containment before the attacker gains momentum.

Talk to an expert

  1. 24/7 support – an always on standby when you need help.

  2. Incident Response is performed by experts with experience and in-depth know-how on how cyber threats operate.

  3. When an incident happens, River Security's team is already on standby, ready to help contain the threat.

  4. Reduce costs by containing and eradicating the threat in the right places, at the right time, without wasting time.

Don’t hire the Janitor, hire the Fire Marshal

When an incident hits, you want specialists who know how to handle chaos, not generalists who tidy up after the fact. A fire marshal is trained to assess danger, control the spread, stabilize the environment, and protect lives and assets under pressure. Incident response demands that same level of expertise. You need professionals who understand attacker behaviour, escalation paths, forensic preservation, containment strategies, and the complex interplay of systems under active compromise. This is not the time for guesswork or routine maintenance workflows, it is the time for decisive action rooted in experience, methodology, and deep technical understanding.

The PICERL Incident Response Lifecycle

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Playbooks, access and 24/7 responders in place before an incident ever hits.

  2. 2

    Identification

    Detect the anomaly, validate that it is real, and scope how far it reaches.

  3. 3

    Containment

    Isolate affected systems to stop the spread while evidence is preserved.

  4. 4

    Eradication

    Remove the foothold and root cause so the threat cannot simply return.

  5. 5

    Recovery

    Restore clean systems to production and monitor closely for any resurgence.

  6. 6

    Lessons Learned

    Review what happened and feed concrete improvements back into preparation.

A continuous loop — every incident makes the next response faster.

24/7 Experts on Stand-By, Ready to Deploy

When the worst happens, you need experienced responders who can engage immediately, not next week and not after internal approvals slowly churn. Having 24/7 experts on stand-by means you get seasoned professionals who can step in the moment an anomaly surfaces, validate the threat, and begin containment before the attacker gains momentum. This eliminates the long, costly delays that often turn small breaches into full-scale crises. You get instant access to people who live and breathe incident response, who know the pressure, and who are trained to make the right calls fast.

Always-on readiness also means continuity. No matter the time zone, holiday, or workload, you have a dedicated team prepared to deploy tools, escalate decisions, communicate with stakeholders, and guide your internal teams through every critical step. This level of availability transforms chaos into controlled action. It gives leadership confidence, reduces business impact, and puts your organization on the front foot, even during the most unpredictable moments.

As the uncertainty surrounding the situation in Europe continues, security in critical infrastructure is of higher importance than ever. Having an external party look at your company from an attackers’ point of view is crucial to identify weaknesses, but also to confirm good measures already in place.

Through a tendering process, we invited River Security to submit their proposal. They immediately understood the assignment, still they challenged us and brought life to new ideas and concepts.

Endgame was that they suggested a multi-phase delivery covering exactly what we (didn’t know we) needed. This made it easy to conclude what vendor to appoint amongst strong competitors.

They started with conducting an external digital footprint to give us an overview of all our digital assets and continued to perform inside penetration testing both remote and on-site.

At the end of the delivery, they held a thorough workshop to go through their findings and suggested measures to mitigate and reduce the risk of being successfully hacked by cyber criminals.

We receive complete reports from every phase, in addition to an executive summary describing what measures we need to focus on first.

Our experience from working with River Security is exclusively positive. Their competence, adaptability and knowledge sharing are without comparison.

We can safely recommend River Security.
