Cloud Incident Response

Immediate containment and deep forensic analysis for breaches within AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.

Book Assessment

Rapid Containment & Recovery in Distributed Environments

When a cloud environment is breached, time is the ultimate variable. Attackers utilizing automated scripts can enumerate your entire architecture, escalate IAM privileges, and exfiltrate terabytes of data from S3 or Blob storage in a matter of minutes.

Atgardas Cloud Incident Response teams are specialized in cloud-native forensics. We respond to AWS, Azure, and GCP compromises to establish immediate containment. We revoke compromised identities, isolate breached containers, and preserve highly volatile container and serverless logs before they automatically overwrite.

Our engineers integrate directly with your cloud control plane to neutralize the threat, perform root-cause analysis, and deploy immediate architectural fixes to prevent reinfection during recovery.

Key Benefits & Deliverables

Rapid IAM Containment

Immediate isolation of compromised over-permissive roles, stopping lateral movement without taking the entire production environment offline.

Volatile Log Preservation

Securing CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Kubernetes audit logs before the attacker can disable or delete the operational trail.

Blast Radius Assessment

Determining exactly which databases, storage buckets, and API endpoints the attacker accessed during the intrusion.

Engagement Process

1

Triage & Containment

Identifying the compromised resources and initiating immediate network isolation and credential revocation.

2

Log Acquisition

Extracting cloud telemetry, VPC flow logs, and instance memory for offline forensic analysis.

3

Threat Eradication

Removing backdoors, malicious Lambda functions, and unauthorized cross-account trust policies.

4

Secure Recovery

Rebuilding compromised infrastructure using secure-by-default configurations and hardened IAM policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specialized emergency response focused entirely on breaches within cloud infrastructure.

Yes, our team consists of senior engineers certified across all three major platforms.

Remote triage begins within 1 hour of engagement signing.

It depends heavily on your backup architecture, snapshot retention, and storage versioning policies.

Yes, container escape and cluster compromise forensics are a core capability.

We aim for surgical containment (e.g., revoking specific roles) to minimize business impact.

Yes, we analyze flow logs and storage access records to determine exactly what data left the network.

Initial findings are reported within 24-48 hours; full reports take 1-3 weeks.

Yes, we provide the technical timeline required for GDPR, HIPAA, and SEC disclosures.
