Group-IB named a Representative Vendor in Gartner® 2023 Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Services

Group-IB, a global cybersecurity leader headquartered in Singapore, is pleased to announce that it was recognized by Gartner in their 2023 Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Services (Gartner subscription required). In the report, Gartner identified Group-IB as a representative vendor for incident response services.

Cybersecurity incidents require an immediate, thorough response that ensures the event is contained, the threat is remediated, and any weaknesses addressed. Group-IB’s intelligence-driven approach to incident response enables the company to offer immediate and professional emergency support 24/7 to affected organizations, minimizing the impact and downtime of cyber attacks. Since 2003, Group-IB has responded to more than 1,300 incidents of all complexities, racking up more than 70,000 hours of hands-on IR experience. Group-IB’s DFIR team of highly-qualified specialists conducts more than 200 engagements annually, and the company’s experts have assisted organizations in multiple key verticals, including banking, manufacturing, energy, and government, to respond to ransomware attacks, APT breaches, and many other threats.

This is the third time in a row that Group-IB has been recognized by Gartner in their Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Services.

Group-IB launched its innovative Incident Response Retainer (IRR) in 2015. This pre-negotiated statement of work, containing a synergy of proactive and reactive services related to a security incident, enables Group-IB to jump into action when an incident occurs without the need to lose valuable hours completing formal contractual procedures.

In 2022, Group-IB was named the largest and most experienced IRR provider by Aite-Novarica Group, an advisory firm providing mission-critical insights on technology, regulations, strategy, and operations to hundreds of financial sector companies. Group-IB has over 150 active IRR clients, including the world’s top 30 largest banks and financial services firms.

“Group-IB is pleased to be recognized as a Representative Vendor for IR services by Gartner. We are committed to providing our clients with best-in-class solutions when they need them most, and our expertise rests on our extensive track record of completing successful incident response engagements across the globe.”
