Why rely on TCS‑CERT

A team dedicated to your incident response

Overview

A computer security incident response team works a little like a fire brigade: instead of putting out fires, it helps organisations contain, neutralise and eradicate intrusions. Just as fire drills help save lives when a real fire strikes, careful preparation makes it easier to detect, handle and mitigate real intrusions.
Our mission

Our mission is to support Thales' partners by implementing proactive measures designed to reduce the risk of computer security incidents. We also handle the management of security incidents and reinforce partners' own deployed teams when an incident occurs.
Real time response

Experienced CSIRT experts react rapidly to cyber incidents, including ransomware and advanced persistent threats, to limit impact and restore business operations.

Communication and authentication

Email is the preferred method for contacting our team. For urgent assistance, please refer to the RFC 2350 document below. Given the nature of the information handled, telephone communications are considered sufficiently secure, even when unencrypted.

Unencrypted email is suitable for transmitting low-sensitivity data; however, highly sensitive information classified as Confidential should be protected using encryption, preferably PGP.

To ensure authenticity and integrity, all communications issued by the team are digitally signed using either the generic PGP key or individual team members' signing keys, available in the RFC 2350 document.

Our team brings together highly experienced security experts able to handle sophisticated attacks and threats. Their expertise covers security skills, threat intelligence and networking, while ensuring complete confidentiality.
