Compromise Assessment

A Compromise Assessment helps your organization to identify an active incident, or an incident that went previously undetected. It can also be used to find methods to improve your detection capability as well as meet various compliance standards.

Overview

With a Cisco Talos Compromise Assessment, you will be able to see your organization through a lens you’ve never looked through before. If you’ve recently introduced new technologies into your stack or conducted remediations, a Compromise Assessment is a great way to thoroughly test that there are no lingering threats or gaps in your visibility.

From logs to network traffic, to EDR tools, and more, Cisco Talos Incident Response (Talos IR) will test your environment from every angle. We keep you completely updated with everything that we find so there are no surprises at the end. If a compromise is detected at any point, we get all hands on deck to quickly eradicate the threat.
