July 25, 2024 – Trustwave, a leading cybersecurity and managed security services provider, was named a Representative Vendor in the newly released 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Retainer (DFIR) Services.
This is the fifth time that Trustwave has been recognized and comes on the heels of Trustwave being named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
“Trustwave is honored to be named as a Representative Vendor for DFIR by Gartner for the fifth time,” said Trustwave CEO Eric Harmon. “Recent major outages, in conjunction with the evolving threat landscape, underscore the need for a proactive approach to cybersecurity, and we believe that effective DFIR requires an equal emphasis on incident readiness and response. As evidenced by our recent placement in Gartner's MDR Market Guide and now DFIR, Trustwave prides itself on not only providing world-class incident response and managed security capabilities with our 24/7 SpiderLabs team, but also on empowering organizations to build robust defenses through proactive and offensive measures.”
Trustwave has been previously named in several other recent cybersecurity Gartner® Market Guides as a Representative Vendor:
Gartner defines DFIR retainers as services organizations use to assess and manage the impact of a security incident. Digital forensics (DF) services assist with forensic response, aid in forensic information gathering, and advise on proactive best practices for avoiding a breach. Incident response (IR) services assist with breach investigation, triage, and impact classification. These capabilities are delivered as professional services, supported by technology services from the same provider.
Mandatory features for this market include:
- Preincident design and assessment: Services assist with the creation and/or review of IR policies and processes. Services offer assessments of incident response procedures, security posture (configuration and policies), and organizational readiness.
- Postincident response assistance: Services assist with forensic collection, examination, and analysis of items for use in investigations to build a timeline of the incident, determine the scope of the compromise, and perform root cause analysis.
- Prepaid retainers: DFIR services are available as an annual spend, giving access to incident response capabilities within an agreed SLA in the event of an incident. Response services might be bundled with regular exercises and/or assessments.
Trustwave’s approach to DFIR is to bring clarity during what will be a very complicated situation for clients. Trustwave DFIR consulting services work with a client to determine the cause, and extent of a security breach quickly, and to better prepare for the inevitable incident.
