Cyber incident response is the organized process an organization uses to address and manage the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack. The goal is simple: handle the situation in a way that limits damage and reduces recovery time and costs.

At Minerva Group, we don’t just “react.” We provide a comprehensive framework that spans from initial detection to full forensic recovery.
