Analyzing attacker actions to establish the initial attack vector, activity timeline, and the extent of compromise, including live response, forensic, network traffic, log, and malware analysis.

I just wanted to take a moment to reach out and thank you for the excellent service you and your team have provided with the hosted SIEM solution. AlienVault is great, but the real value comes from your partnership. The appliance would not do nearly as much for us without your monitoring and consulting services. You have always been on top of things and there for us whenever there is an incident. I feel confident in that our network is secure and I am able to report that our board and clients with full assurance.
