For the second week in a row, Trustwave proudly announces recognition from the industry analyst firm Gartner.
Today, Trustwave is proud to reveal that Gartner has named us as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Retainer Services. This news follows Trustwave's announcement last week stating we were named a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response.
Additionally, Trustwave was previously recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Services and the 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services.
“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.”
Gartner noted, "DFIR retainer services help organizations 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 a DFIR vendor should include the following:
Additionally, to effectively prepare for and respond to security incidents, Gartner suggests DFIR providers offer a comprehensive suite of services. In addition to incident response, proactive measures such as red teaming and tabletop exercises are crucial. Specialized offerings like penetration testing and training workshops can further enhance an organization's security resilience. Trustwave's robust offensive security offerings, including penetration testing and red teaming, exemplify this proactive approach, led by the CREST-certified Trustwave SpiderLabs team.
