"They call it stopping the bleeding: the vital window to prevent an entire database from being ransacked by criminals or a production line grinding to a halt. When a call comes into the cybersecurity firm S-RM, headquartered on Whitechapel High Street in east London, a hacked business or institution may have just minutes to protect themselves. S-RM, which helped a high-profile retail client recover from a Scattered Spider cyber-attack has become a quiet, often word-of-mouth, success."
"Many of the company's senior workers are multilingual and have a minimal online footprint, which reveals scant but impressive CVs suggestive of corporate or government intelligence-based careers. S-RM now claims the UK's largest cyber-incident response team. Its first-responder service is comprised of about 150 experts worldwide. It has clients who keep it on retainer, victims referred by insurers, and walk-ins: people who suddenly realise their business is under attack and call the first few results on their search engines."
S-RM is a London-based cybersecurity firm that provides rapid incident response to businesses and institutions under attack. The firm's first-responder team numbers about 150 experts worldwide and claims to be the UK's largest cyber-incident response team. Many senior staff are multilingual with minimal online footprints and backgrounds suggestive of corporate or government intelligence work. S-RM handles retained clients, insurer referrals, and direct walk-ins, and reports average initial response times of around six minutes. Acting during the reconnaissance phase can prevent intrusions from escalating into widespread malware, ransomware, data theft, or operational disruption.
