Services Retainer
A CrowdStrike Services Retainer is designed to ensure an organization is prepared to react quickly and effectively to a cybersecurity incident and also benefit from proactive services.
The challenge
The reality is that your organization is likely to encounter a cyber incident at some point. Your ability to react and respond can be impacted by:
Lack of preparation
Organizations often don't prepare in advance, failing to ensure they can call upon incident response (IR) services from a trusted provider. Terms and conditions covering a service-level agreement and hourly rates are not negotiated in advance, which undermines the ability to respond and mitigate the impact of an attack.
Reactive approach
Many organizations focus only on making preparations to help them ‘react’ to an incident, failing to see that proactive services can help them improve their cyber security posture. They need to have access to a comprehensive range of proactive services that can help them be more resilient and proactive in dealing with threats and attacks.
Lack of value
Far too often retainers feel like lost money to an organization. The eventuality they cover doesn't happen and they see no value in their proactive commitment. What is missing is the flexibility that allows them to pick and choose what makes sense for the organization as they work to improve and mature their security posture.
