It looks like a job for the Responsemen!

When cybersecurity incidents occur, companies often assume they know the exact cause. However, the obvious answer is not always the correct one.

While 66% of businesses believe they may come under an insider attack, insider threats impact over 34% of companies in fact. In a recent incident response case handled by Group-IB, the affected company thought they were a victim of an insider attack. Our Responsemen had to investigate further to uncover the real cause of the incident. What is it?

🙌 Honored to receive recognition from the Singapore Police Force (SPF) for the second year in a row!

Scams are on the rise in Singapore. In 2021, they accounted for over 50% of reported crimes, and the numbers continued to rise in 2022, resulting in losses totalling to SGD 660.7 million, according to SPF.

Our partnership has been instrumental in addressing this growing threat. We've actively shared knowledge, provided training, and engaged in investigative cooperation.

We're committed to building a trusted and secure cyber environment in Singapore, and our collaboration with SPF is a testament to our dedication to this cause. Together, we can make the digital world a safer place! 💪

🎉 Celebrating 20 years of fighting cybercrime! 🎉

In 2003, we started off as a Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and cyber investigations company aspiring to become a formidable force against digital crime.

We’ve transformed this aspiration into reality. Unique insights into attackers enabled us to create a product and service ecosystem reliant on battle-tested human expertise and two decades of investigative and incident response experience. Throughout these years, one thing has remained unchanged: our core mission of fighting against cybercrime.

We’ve established a global network of Digital Crime Resistance Centers (DCRC) that spreads across the Middle East & Africa, APAC, and Europe. Built upon the foundation of 1,400+ successful investigations in 60 countries and 70,000+ hours dedicated to countering threats, DCRCs help us strengthen our contribution to global cybercrime prevention, defend businesses, communities, and support operations against cybercrime.

We take pride in the tangible real-life impact of our work, driving us forward to innovate and continue our mission with excellence. As we mark our 20th anniversary, we celebrate the defining values. We stand resolute in our commitment to battling against digital crime.

None of this would have been possible without our amazing team and the trust of our clients and partners. A heartfelt thanks to you all for being part of our journey. Here's to many more years of innovation and success ahead! 🚀

🎓 Have you ever dreamed of delving into the realm of threat actor activities, gaining real-life incident management experience, and assisting companies while you're still a student? We are excited to offer this opportunity by launching a joint Threat Intelligence and Defence Centre (TIDC) with Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP)!

Housed at @ngeeannpoly, the first-ever TIDC in Singapore powered by Group-IB’s industry-leading cybersecurity solutions will prepare the students of the School of InfoComm Technology (ICT) to fight and proactively manage cyber threats.

NP is the only institute of higher learning in Singapore to receive Group-IB’s royalty-free academic license valued at $360,000.

Over the next 3 years, more than 200 students in NP’s Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics (CSF) course will be trained in intelligence collection and analysis, incident response, threat hunting, vulnerability assessment, and security monitoring.

Under the partnership, the TIDC will also help start-up partners at AGILE and Pollinate – NP’s on-campus and off-campus incubators – enhance their cyber resilience. The TIDC will be managed by final-year CSF students, who will take on the role of the start-ups’ security analysts.
