Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics and Incident Response

Think the headlines about cyber risk are exaggerated? Think again.


Malicious cyber criminals are experiencing a golden age of success, as they are more organized and sophisticated than ever.

Security compromises including data theft, theft of funds, extortion via ransomware, and infrastructure disruption pose significant challenges for organizations of all sizes, in every industry and geography.

Recognizing and handling cyber risk is crucial in today’s digital landscape. The challenges posed by compliance and cybersecurity regulations demand just as much focus and commitment.

Kaufman Rossin’s Risk Advisors help you manage data security as a critical and strategic business priority, not just an IT issue.

Many leaders don’t fully understand the financial, operational and reputational impacts their organizations would face if a cyber event or other major IT incident occurs. Many are not aware of what their cyber liabilities are, or how vulnerable their data is to digital threats and exploitation.

Beyond regulatory compliance or corporate compliance, it is a good business decision to protect sensitive information and systems and have a plan for swift recovery to minimize business disruption should any issues occur.

The number and complexity of computer viruses, cyber-attacks, theft, vendor negligence and fraud continue to rise. No company is immune, and a security breach can result in irreversible damage to your finances and reputation.

In today’s environment, you must understand the cybersecurity threats your business may encounter – including new threats related to the hybrid workforce – and the solutions available to protect your data and information systems.

Our Risk Advisors assess how well you’re prepared to detect, respond and recover from a cyber-attack.

Then we help you close as many gaps as possible to reduce your cyber risks, ranging from people and policies to processes and technology infrastructure. And because absolute security is never possible, we work with you to develop an incident response plan that will help govern how your organization responds to cyber incidents and events.

Tips for responding to a cybersecurity incident

Cybersecurity incidents can be daunting, but with the right approach, you can navigate them confidently. Being prepared and proactive helps keep your organization strong against cyber threats.

Did you know that most cyber-attacks start through phishing?

No matter how smart and loyal your people are, they’re the most likely to put your organization at risk. What are the chances one of your employees would open a dangerous email? Higher than you think.

We train your employees to spot risky emails. Then we test them to see how many take the bait.

Through our PhishNet by Kaufman Rossin® employee training and testing service, we send a fake phishing email to your employees, monitor their response, and then analyze and report results to your management team, identifying and measuring the areas of highest risk. Employees who click are sent to a brief training to build awareness.
