Part of our nationwide cybersecurity incident response practice — see methodology, full service catalog, and pricing.
When an attacker gets into a Buffalo company’s email, files or servers, the first hours decide how much it costs. Our incident response work is delivered remotely by U.S.-based engineers, so containment can start as soon as we have admin access, without waiting on a drive across Western New York. Most of the cases we handle are compromised Microsoft 365 / Office 365 or Google Workspace accounts, business email compromise and ransomware, for organizations in healthcare, cancer research & life sciences, aerospace, defense & advanced manufacturing, banking, credit unions & insurance, cross-border trade, logistics & distribution and education, nonprofits & professional services. New York’s breach notification statute, N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 899-aa, sets the clock once personal information is exposed. We cover Downtown Buffalo, Elmwood Village, Allentown, Larkinville, Amherst and Williamsville and the rest of the Western New York area.
What We Offer
Comprehensive cybersecurity incident response tailored for Buffalo businesses
Microsoft 365 / Office 365 Compromise
Hidden inbox rules, forwarding, OAuth app grants, attacker MFA methods and live sessions found and removed across the tenant.
Google Workspace Compromise
Gmail filters and forwarding, third-party app grants, outside Drive sharing and admin changes cleaned up, audit logs preserved.
Business Email Compromise
Bank recall support, scoping of what the attacker read and sent, and evidence for IC3 and your insurer.
Ransomware Containment
Isolate without destroying evidence, find the entry point, verify backups before restoring, rebuild clean.
Forensic Scoping
Audit, sign-in and endpoint logs preserved early to answer what data was accessed and whose.
Hardening After the Incident
Phishing-resistant MFA, conditional access and alerting in place before the case closes.
Industries We Serve
Specialized expertise for Western New York's key industries.
Healthcare, Cancer Research & Life Sciences
A compromised mailbox at a practice is rarely just an email problem, because referral letters, lab results and insurance forms sit in it. We scope exactly which messages the attacker could read so your privacy officer can run the HIPAA breach risk assessment on facts instead of assumptions.
Aerospace, Defense & Advanced Manufacturing
Defense contractors carry a reporting clock most businesses do not: DFARS 252.204-7012 requires cyber incidents affecting covered defense information to be reported to the DoD within 72 hours of discovery, with images preserved for 90 days. We run containment with that clock and the evidence requirements in mind.
Banking, Credit Unions & Insurance
Financial firms are a favorite target for business email compromise because a single altered wire instruction pays well. We move fast on bank recall, find every forwarding rule and OAuth grant the attacker planted, and preserve the evidence your regulator or carrier will ask for. Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, covered firms must also report qualifying incidents to the FTC.
Cross-Border Trade, Logistics & Distribution
Freight and distribution firms see a lot of payment-redirection fraud, where an attacker inside a mailbox changes remittance details on a real invoice thread. We find the compromised account, the rules hiding the replies and the customers who were contacted, and help you get ahead of it with those customers.
Education, Nonprofits & Professional Services
Education environments see a steady stream of account takeovers used to send phishing from trusted addresses. We contain the accounts, remove the mail rules and app grants, and scope whether student records or research data were reached.
