Strengthening cyber resilience with expert-led IR planning and real-world simulations
RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RapidScale, a Cox Business company and leading provider of enterprise managed and professional services for public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, today announced the launch of Incident Response (IR) Readiness Services, a strategic addition to its growing cybersecurity solutions portfolio. These offerings—IR Tabletop Exercises and IR Plan Development Engagements—are powered by Pathfynder, enabling organizations to proactively strengthen cyber resilience across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
A Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity
As part of RapidScale's integrated cybersecurity solutions, these services go beyond point products to deliver end-to-end incident response readiness. By combining simulation-based exercises with tailored IR planning, businesses gain a comprehensive framework to validate their posture, close gaps, and align with regulatory mandates, all without the need to build internal capabilities from scratch.
Key Benefits for Enterprise and Mid-Market Organizations:
- Expert-Led Tabletop Simulations: Real-world breach scenarios that engage cross-functional teams.
- Custom IR Plan Development: Actionable strategies aligned with compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and NIST.
Why Incident Response Readiness Services Matter Now
Cyberattacks are escalating in frequency and sophistication, with ransomware, phishing, and supply chain threats targeting every sector. These new services empower CIOs, CISOs, and IT leaders to demonstrate readiness, meet cyber insurance requirements, and ensure business continuity critical for enterprise growth in a multi-cloud world.
What Sets RapidScale Apart
Unlike vendors offering isolated IR planning or tabletop exercises, RapidScale delivers both in a modular, partner-integrated model. This approach combines MSP familiarity with specialized IR expertise, ensuring scalability, cost-effectiveness, and operational simplicity.
Cyber resiliency isn't optional—it's a business imperative. These new solutions empower organizations to anticipate threats, respond with confidence, and secure growth across every cloud.
"Cybersecurity resilience is no longer optional; it's mission-critical," said Brent Neal, Chief Information Security Officer at RapidScale. "Our partnership with Pathfynder expands our ability to deliver proactive, expert-led Incident Response Readiness services that help organizations develop robust response plans and validate them through realistic tabletop exercises. By combining RapidScale's enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with Pathfynder's specialized expertise, we're giving businesses the confidence to operate securely in an increasingly complex digital landscape."
"At Pathfynder, we know that real-world breach preparedness is about more than checklists—it's about hands-on simulations, expert guidance, and closing the gaps before attackers find them. Together with RapidScale, we're raising the bar for incident response readiness and resilience," said DJ Fuller, Pathfynder CEO.
