Arete Advisors and Coalfire Partner to Deliver Full End-to-End Cybersecurity Incident Response Capabilities

WASHINGTON, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Arete Advisors, a trusted and elite group of cybersecurity experts, which provides incident response and digital investigation services, and Coalfire, today announced the launch of a formal partnership providing a comprehensive Incident Response (IR) Retainer offering.

Arete will provide Coalfire's nearly 2000 customers an end-to-end Incident Response (IR) capability, from planning through remediation. Arete's recognized team will provide customers with a complete and comprehensive set of IR services through the IR lifecycle. The joint offering will include IR program readiness assessment and requirements analysis, IR playbook development, and post-event data breach services. Coalfire provides its customers with expert advice, assessments, technical testing, and cyber engineering services. Coalfire clients can test existing security plans against recent data breaches through Arete's elite team of experts and quickly implement any changes to fill the gaps in their client's security posture.

"In recent years Incident Response and Data Breach service providers have focused on selling tools vs. expertise, which can lead to delays in answering critical questions related to the extent of the breach, costing clients days of lost productivity," said Joe Mann, CEO of Arete. "Our partnership with Coalfire will allow customers to operate their security efforts in a more efficient and cost-effective manner responding to security threats faster with support from our highly experienced incident response team. Coalfire's deep working knowledge of their clients' IT security architecture and tools combined with the Arete elite cybersecurity team's experience provides customers with the fastest, and most capable, incident response services in the industry."

"Many organizations don't think about how they will respond to a cyber incident until one happens to them, when it could be too late," said Larry Jones, CEO at Coalfire. "This partnership with the elite Arete team will allow us to provide our existing and new customers with a complete, proven breach response capability, making it easier for them to be ready to identify, react and recover—before an incident occurs."

Arete's team of experts has more than 15 years of deep experience in IR, remediation and eradication of cyberattacks in the government and commercial sectors, serving some of the largest agencies and global brands. We have a proven track record of identifying attack vectors where others failed in many highly publicized incidents. Our technology-agnostic approach combined with Coalfire's deep knowledge of their clients' IT security architecture and tools means customers will see an elimination of the essential time lost and expensive cost of post-breach technology deployments.
