Why We’re Different
Thought leadership
Kivu’s leaders and analysts are regularly asked to speak at industry conferences about the latest incident response technology and risk management solutions. Kivu personnel are often interviewed by well-known news channels and publications to provide an expert’s perspective. Our analysts testify in state and federal court in a breadth of data breach and insurance coverage cases.
Ransomware expertise
We have built an industry leading reputation combating cyber extortion and responding to cyber-crime, enabling our clients to make informed, cost-effective decisions. Our cyber extortion team includes analysts who are fluent in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, and Chinese (Mandarin).
Remote services
Our unique remote service model enables our analysts to respond immediately to an incident, without needing to be onsite. We can quickly begin to analyze a problem and provide a solution, while controlling client costs. We have built a proprietary tool for our remote response services.
International Reach
Our teams are based in San Francisco, New York City, Washington D.C., Denver, Toronto and Amsterdam. We can work onsite, as well as from remote locations. See our locations.
Flexible service bundle
We offer both “lite” and full pre-breach assessment services to help our clients reduce corporate cyber risks.
Innovative software
Kivu has designed the Kivu Enterprise Collection Tool (KECT), a proprietary utility, which can quickly collect critical system data to help identify malware on compromised devices, identify vulnerable software on systems, and identify various indicators of compromise (IOCs) or Advance Persistent Threats.
