Respond Faster. Recover Stronger.

From Detection to Containment

Security incidents demand more than an alert. They require fast decisions, reliable evidence, coordinated action, and a clear path back to normal operations.

HAWK.io combines evidence intelligence, autonomous investigation, digital forensics, policy-governed response, and expert security support to help organizations understand what happened, contain the threat, preserve critical evidence, and move toward recovery faster.

A Structured Approach to Incident Response

Prepare.
Establish response workflows, authorization boundaries, escalation paths, and coordinated processes before an incident occurs.

Investigate.
Patent-pending HAWK.io ClaimKit identifies, extracts, and cites the evidence relevant to an investigation, giving Octopus cAI a focused evidence set for autonomous investigation, reasoning, and validation. HAWK builds the context needed to understand affected users, assets, applications, processes, and attack activity.

Contain.
Use validated investigation results and policy-governed response actions to limit malicious activity and reduce the opportunity for a threat to spread. HAWK can execute authorized actions automatically while routing higher-impact decisions through established approval and escalation paths.

Eradicate.
Use validated investigation findings, forensic artifacts, reputation analysis, sandboxing, and attack context to support removal of the threat and address the conditions identified during the investigation. HAWK maps validated activity to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques to provide additional context for appropriate response actions.

Recover.
Return affected systems and business operations to a known operational state while maintaining visibility for additional suspicious activity.

Report and Improve.
Maintain an accounting of the incident lifecycle—including evidence, decisions, actions, and operational results—to support security operations, leadership reporting, post-incident review, and continuous improvement. HAWK reporting can be customized and run on demand or according to schedule.

Automation When It Matters. Expertise When Needed.

Incident response should not depend on someone manually assembling evidence after an attack has already progressed.

ClaimKit identifies, extracts, and cites relevant evidence, giving Octopus cAI a focused evidence set for autonomous investigation, reasoning, and validation. HAWK can gather artifacts, perform reputation and attack-context analysis, map validated activity to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, and coordinate response based on the results of the investigation.

When the evidence supports an approved response and the action falls within established policy, HAWK can execute authorized actions automatically. Higher-impact decisions can be routed through established approval and escalation paths, allowing organizations to accelerate response without surrendering operational control.

When an incident requires additional expertise, HAWK's security professionals can complement the organization's internal team—providing the experience and context needed to navigate more complex investigations, response decisions, and recovery activities.

Preserve the Evidence Behind the Incident

Effective containment is only part of incident response. Organizations also need to understand what happened, how it happened, what was affected, and what actions were taken.

HAWK collects and correlates incident artifacts and contextual information throughout the investigation and response process. ClaimKit helps identify, extract, and cite the evidence relevant to the investigation, creating a more focused and traceable evidence set for Octopus cAI and security personnel.

That evidence provides a more complete incident record for forensic analysis, reporting, operational review, and future defensive improvements.

Reduce the Impact. Not Just the Alert Count.

The objective of incident response is not simply to close a case.

It is to limit the threat's ability to spread, reduce business impact, preserve the evidence needed to understand the incident, restore operations, and apply what was learned to strengthen defenses against the next attack.

That's the role of HAWK.io Incident Response & Containment: turning validated evidence into coordinated action before a threat becomes a larger business event.
