Incident Response

Be ready to deal with cyber security incidents
Dealing with the increasing frequency and complexity of security threats is a challenge for every business. That’s why Telstra Incident Response offers a managed service that gets your business ready to efficiently deal with potentially damaging cyber security incidents.
We provide priority, around-the-clock access to Telstra’s highly-skilled and vastly experienced Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) when you need them most.
Our Incident Response service works on a retainer model to respond quickly when you notify us of a suspected incident, including unauthorised or compromised access to your systems, data loss or theft, network viruses, unauthorised payments, suspicious network activity or ransomware attacks.
Telstra Incident Response provides peace of mind in knowing your incident will be handled quickly, reducing any disruption to your business and providing help when you need it.

How it works
Telstra Incident Response is a single-use product, purchased in advance, to have Telstra on retainer in the event of a major security incident. The retainer covers an annual allocation of 40 hours for a single cyber-security incident. If more than 40 hours are required, our experts will still be available to help, on an hourly rate. The retainer service must be purchased before you experience an incident to access priority resources.
As soon as you suspect your business has suffered a cyber-attack, simply call our dedicated Telstra phone number. Our team of security specialists will arrange a triage call within an hour to quickly initiate the Incident Response process.
They will commence analysis as soon as you provide the required data, then investigate and provide advice to contain the threat. If you also have our Security Monitoring service we can respond faster as we’ll already have access to your logs and an understanding of your ICT environment.
You’ll receive daily updates throughout the process, as well as a written report with recommendations to help you put measures in place in an effort to prevent the incident from recurring.
If the retainer service is unused, it can be redeemed for five days’ worth of Security Consulting and Professional services.
