Dell SecureWorks Approved as a PCI Forensic Investigator

Business Wire
Dell SecureWorks, an industry leader in information security
services, has been approved as a PCI Forensic Investigator (PFI) by
the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Council. Dell SecureWorks is one of
only 11 PFIs in the U.S. With an entire practice dedicated to
Incident Response (IR) and Digital Forensics, Dell SecureWorks can
service any entity within the U.S. and can be on site within 24
hours.
Any entity that stores, processes, or transmits payment card
data and is the subject of compromise affecting payment card
transactions or cardholder data is required to use a PCI Forensic
Investigator to perform a forensic investigation. Dell SecureWorks
can investigate and remediate breaches for organizations of all
sizes.
The average cost of a cyber breach in the U.S. is $5.4 million
per organization and $188 per compromised record, according to the
Ponemon Institute 2013 Cost of Data Breach Study. Preparing for an
incident and having specialized responders at the ready can save a
compromised U.S. organization as much as $55 per record, according
to the study.
“When a security breach occurs, response time must be measured
in minutes, not hours or days,” said Jeff Schilling, director of
Incident Response at Dell SecureWorks. “Time is money, money that
the intruders will take from your customers as they expand their
foothold in your network and exploit more of your payment card
data. You’ve got to move quickly to identify the intrusion, contain
the exploitation of your PCI data and eradicate the threat from
your environment. Too many companies don’t find all the threat
presence without help, and continue to hemorrhage payment card
data.”
Sophisticated attackers hide malware in multiple places, and
their tools, tactics and procedures (TTP) are always evolving. The
Dell SecureWorks Counter Threat UnitTM (CTU) constantly gathers
intelligence about threats actors and TTP as it actively monitors
the global cyber threat landscape. Working closely with the CTU,
the Dell SecureWorks IR teams contain threats and resolve security
incidents quickly.
Along with remediating and eradicating active threats, the Dell
SecureWorks IR team provides expert consulting services to assess
an organization’s security posture, risk and compliance with
regulations. Consulting services include Advanced Threat
Preparedness, Denial-of-Service Preparedness, Logging Configuration
Reviews, Compliance Integration, and Incident Response Testing
& Capability Analysis. Dell SecureWorks offers a wide-range of
other security solutions including its award-winning Managed
Security Services, Threat Intelligence and Security and Risk Consulting.
The Dell SecureWorks IR practice holds numerous network, systems
and security certifications, including GIAC Certified Forensic
Examiner (GCFE), GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA), GIAC
Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM) and GIAC Certified Intrusion
Analyst (GCIA).
In addition to a long list of stringent requirements to become a
PFI, a company must be a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and have
existing relationships with appropriate law enforcement
agencies.
