The concrete technologies and protocols powering our security stack.
A structured, tested incident response process that ensures rapid containment and transparent communication.
SIEM correlation rules, anomaly detection, and automated scanning identify potential security events. Security operations team triages and classifies severity within minutes.
Target: < 30 secondsAutomated containment actions trigger: affected services are isolated via service mesh, compromised credentials are revoked, and network segments are quarantined. Manual verification follows immediately.
Target: < 5 minutesDedicated incident response team performs deep forensic analysis using immutable logs. Chain of custody is maintained for all evidence. Root cause and scope are determined.
Target: < 2 hoursThreat actors are removed, vulnerabilities are patched, and services are gradually restored using verified clean images. Health checks and canary deployments ensure stability.
Target: < 4 hoursAffected users are notified within 72 hours per regulatory requirements. Internal stakeholders receive detailed briefings. Status page is updated in real-time throughout.
Target: < 72 hoursBlameless post-mortem conducted within one week. Findings feed into security backlog. Detection rules, playbooks, and infrastructure are updated to prevent recurrence.
Target: Within 7 days
