Group-IB CEO Dmitry Volkov explains how incident response can be reframed as a competitive edge. He outlines the benefits of a unified risk platform, 24/7 incident retainer, and integrated threat intelligence for SecOps teams. Defenders are urged to adopt these tools to shift from reactive to proactive security.
What happened
Group-IB CEO Dmitry Volkov highlighted the evolving role of incident response in 2024, framing it as an opportunity rather than a cost center.

- Integrate email protection, fraud detection, and cloud posture management into existing SOC workflows.
- Conduct a readiness assessment to expose gaps before an incident occurs.
- Leverage Managed XDR to correlate alerts across endpoints, network, and cloud environments.
What to do now
