Answers for high-stakes moments
Common questions from CISOs, founders, legal, and compliance teams evaluating incident response.
What does Response Red do?
Response Red is an AI-assisted incident response and digital forensics company. We help organizations detect, contain, investigate, and recover from high-stakes cyber incidents with expert-led response operations, AI-assisted triage, and executive-grade reporting.
What is AI-assisted incident response?
AI-assisted incident response uses artificial intelligence to accelerate triage, timeline reconstruction, evidence correlation, and reporting, while experienced human responders direct the investigation and make every decision. At Response Red, AI supports responders; it never acts autonomously on production systems.
How fast can Response Red respond to an active incident?
Response operations are available 24/7. For an active incident, submit a request marked “Active incident now” and a specialist prioritizes it immediately, then coordinates a secure intake channel to begin containment.
What types of cyber incidents does Response Red handle?
We handle ransomware, business email compromise, cloud account compromise, data exfiltration, insider threats, malware, and identity compromise — across infrastructure, identity, endpoint, cloud, and business-risk layers.
What should an organization do first during a suspected breach?
Preserve evidence (avoid wiping or rebuilding affected systems), isolate affected systems where safe, rotate credentials for potentially affected accounts from a trusted device, and document what was observed and when. Then engage professional incident responders to scope and contain the incident.
Does Response Red provide digital forensics suitable for legal proceedings?
Yes. We perform defensible evidence preservation, analysis, and timeline reconstruction. Findings are reviewed and owned by expert responders and documented for executive, legal, and compliance stakeholders.
Where does Response Red operate?
Response Red supports organizations worldwide. Engagements are coordinated remotely with secure intake channels, and the company is part of the same security group as CyberLink Security and RaptorLabs.
How is client data handled during intake?
Do not submit passwords, private keys, access tokens, regulated personal data, or confidential evidence through the website. Intake forms are validated and protected, sensitive incident details are not logged by default, and a specialist arranges a secure channel when needed.
Question not covered?
Ask it directly — a specialist answers, not a ticket queue. For an active incident, engage a responder now.
