KAPE Quarterly Update - Q4 2023
by Andrew Rathbun, Eric Zimmerman
Security teams need access to the experience and know-how to recognize a real threat from a false alarm, understand how to stop it in its tracks no matter where it’s hiding, and neutralize it before it damages their business.
Kroll Responder managed detection and response (MDR) provides extended security monitoring around-the-clock, earlier insight into targeted threats, and complete response to contain and eradicate threats across your digital estate.
Responder consumes and filters intelligence directly from the thousands of incident responses we conduct each year. We combine this threat intelligence from our own dark web research, open-source, commercial and law enforcement intelligence, to our update detections in near real-time so we can take action before it impacts your business.
We bring together the telemetry from your endpoints, network, and cloud environments and layer that with our detection, hunting and containment capabilities to maximize the benefits of your security technology investments, actively monitoring your complete digital footprint.
Response shouldn’t leave you hanging. Our response goes as far as you need it to, closing the gap between merely containing the threat to actively removing it across all affected systems and quickly understanding the root cause, to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Explore Kroll Responder at work:
Telemetry is collected from across your networks, endpoints, and cloud environments, ingested into the Redscan platform - our centralized, tech-agnostic virtual interface – and enriched with the latest threat intelligence.
Our custom-built detections and watchlists generate high-fidelity alerts that are grouped together to create ‘Incidents’.
Cases are triaged Incidents are investigated by our 24/7 Security Operations team, using initial findings to hunt deeper before escalating high severity incidents to our elite Incident Response team.
Automated response playbooks are enhanced with robust remediation to disrupt, contain, and eradicate threats before they cause costly damages.
Kroll demonstrated that they could join up the dots to help us achieve better security visibility—more so than any other provider we spoke to.
Kroll’s unique position of having the largest IR market share, as referenced by Forrester, gives us access to the largest pool of breach intelligence from the thousands of IR investigations conducted by our DFIR team each year. We combine this with intelligence from our offensive and managed security engagements, the dark web, external partners, and open-source research to update our detections in near real-time.
Customers have traditionally been disappointed with the “response” from most MDR providers, which often stop at “containment” and put the onus on you to remediate. We go through the entire process, removing persistence, cleaning up malware, even reverse engineering it, and assisting through the recovery process. Kroll Responder uses the same DFIR team which conducts 1000s of high-profile breach investigations a year. We extend that service to you, which means you get the value of remote digital forensics and incident response without additional cost.
No matter where threats appear in your systems, seasoned incident response investigators behind Kroll Responder are armed with proprietary digital forensics tools like KAPE to dig deeper, at no extra cost. We can:
