Professional Analysis
Altius IT offers professionally planned and
implemented incident response, forensic
investigation, and forensic services.
Ad-hoc investigations may
cause more harm than good. Even with a
clearly defined incident response plan,
many organizations don’t have sufficient
time or knowledge to perform skilled
analysis of electronic crime scenes. Your decision to prosecute may
rely on the crime scene investigation, your evidence, and how it is
handled.
Altius IT minimizes your risks
by professionally collecting, examining,
analyzing, and preserving your
evidence. Our
managed forensics process provides a
formalized approach to the forensics
process. The chart below shows how
your organization is threatened from
many different directions.
Four Signs You Are A Victim
If you see any of these four signs, stop
immediately and
contact us - you may be the victim of
an unwanted intruder:
- Physical evidence of damage. Files
that have been modified or removed, a web
site that has been modified or defaced, and
applications that have been deleted are all
examples that your security has been
compromised.
- Your administrator. Your network
administrator may come across a hacker's
trail of evidence. Hackers don't always make
mistakes but when they do you may be lucky
enough to find them.
- Something just doesn't look right. A
detailed analysis of your audit log files
and network data can reveal differences
between normal traffic and an intrusion.
- Intrusion detection system. An
automated process with a variety of sensors
scattered throughout a network to collect
and analyze data. This data is examined for
patterns that might indicate an attack.

systems involved and prepare a
