Incident Response, DFIR & Threat Intelligence
Cyber incidents create pressure, incomplete information and difficult decisions.
SilverFox helps organisations contain threats, reconstruct what happened, determine what remains at risk and move from incident to recovery with evidence rather than assumption.
Pressure makes clarity more important.
During an incident, leadership and technical teams need reliable answers:
- Is the attacker still active?
- Which systems and identities are affected?
- How did the incident begin?
- What did the attacker access?
- Which evidence must be preserved?
- What can be contained safely?
- What remains at risk?
- What should happen next?
SilverFox brings incident coordination, technical investigation, forensics and threat context together.
Incident Response
Contain the threat and regain control.
SilverFox can support incidents including:
Incident types
- Ransomware
- Data breaches
- Business email compromise
- Malware infections
- Cloud compromise
- Identity compromise
- Insider threats
- Web application compromise
- Unauthorised access
- Suspected advanced threat activity
- Third-party compromise
- Destructive attacks
Response capabilities
- Emergency cyber incident response
- Incident triage
- Technical scoping
- Containment planning
- Evidence preservation
- Eradication support
- Recovery guidance
- Stakeholder coordination
- Executive technical briefings
- Post-incident review
Digital Forensics
Establish what the evidence supports.
Digital forensics can include:
- Endpoint forensics
- Server forensics
- Network forensics
- Memory forensics
- Mobile forensics
- Cloud forensics
- Email forensics
- Log analysis
- Timeline reconstruction
- Deleted-artifact recovery where possible
- Root-cause investigation
- Evidence preservation and documentation
Forensic conclusions should distinguish confirmed evidence, reasonable inference and unanswered questions.
Malware Analysis
SilverFox can analyse suspicious software to understand:
- behaviour
- capabilities
- persistence
- command and control
- configuration
- indicators of compromise
- propagation
- impact
- relationships with known malware or campaigns
Analysis may include static, dynamic and reverse-engineering techniques within an appropriate controlled environment.
Compromise Assessment
Determine whether the environment has already been breached.
Compromise assessments may include:
- enterprise-wide threat hunting
- IOC hunting
- persistence discovery
- suspicious identity analysis
- endpoint investigation
- cloud investigation
- network evidence review
- APT investigation
- historical compromise analysis
- scoping of affected systems and accounts
Threat Intelligence
Intelligence should change a decision.
SilverFox can develop and apply:
- Strategic threat intelligence
- Operational threat intelligence
- Tactical threat intelligence
- Threat actor profiling
- Campaign tracking
- Tactics, techniques and procedures analysis
- MITRE ATT&CK mapping
- Vulnerability intelligence
- Malware intelligence
- Indicator analysis
- Dark-web intelligence
- Intelligence requirements and reporting
Threat intelligence is most useful when connected to exposure, detection, investigation and response.
Incident Response Retainers
Prepare the relationship before the incident.
A retainer can establish:
- contact and escalation routes
- response expectations
- organisational context
- access requirements
- evidence-handling procedures
- key stakeholders
- technical prerequisites
- periodic readiness reviews
- agreed response support
The objective is to reduce avoidable delay when an incident occurs.
Our Response Approach
- 01
Stabilise
Establish communication, immediate priorities and a controlled response structure.
- 02
Scope
Identify affected systems, identities, data and business processes.
- 03
Investigate
Collect and analyse evidence to reconstruct activity and determine impact.
- 04
Contain
Limit attacker access while considering operational and evidential consequences.
- 05
Eradicate
Remove persistence, malicious tooling, compromised access and root causes.
- 06
Recover
Restore operations with appropriate validation and monitoring.
- 07
Improve
Turn incident evidence into stronger architecture, identity controls, detections and response plans.
From Incident to Improvement
An investigation should strengthen the environment.
Evidence may drive:
- new detections
- improved logging
- identity remediation
- architecture changes
- hardening
- vulnerability remediation
- updated response playbooks
- targeted penetration testing
- threat hunting
- RANGE exercises
This creates a closed loop:

Contain the threat. Establish the facts. Regain control.
When the situation is uncertain, act from evidence.
