What is cyber incident response?

Incident response is the structured process of detecting, containing, investigating, and recovering from a cyberattack — a breach, ransomware, or account compromise — while preserving evidence so the cause can be proven.

What should I do first in a breach?

Do not wipe, reset, or "clean" the affected systems — that destroys evidence. Disconnect them from the network if you can do so safely, preserve logs, and call (310) 270-0598 immediately.

Should I pay a ransomware demand?

Not before speaking with us. Payment carries legal and practical risks and does not guarantee recovery. We assess options, work from backups where possible, and preserve evidence for insurance and law enforcement. Report incidents to the FBI’s IC3 as well.

Why does forensic incident response matter?

Because how you respond determines whether you can later prove what happened — to your cyber insurer, to regulators, or in court. ROHOVOT contains the incident while preserving court-admissible evidence and can testify to it.

24/7 Emergency Response

In a live incident, two clocks are running: the damage clock and the evidence clock. Most responders only watch the first. ROHOVOT stops the damage while preserving the evidence — because how you respond decides whether you can prove the cause later.

Ransomware: options before payment

Payment is a last resort with legal and practical risk, and no guarantee of recovery. We assess recovery from backups, contain spread, and preserve evidence for your insurer and law enforcement. Serious incidents should also be reported to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
