Kroll Recognized in 2024 Gartner Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Retainer Services for the Fifth Consecutive Year

New York – Kroll, the leading independent provider of global risk and financial advisory solutions, announced today that it has been named a representative vendor in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response Retainer Services (subscription required) for the fifth consecutive year. This repeated recognition highlights the experience Kroll has in dealing with even the most complex cyber incidents, merging its elite team of cyber incident response experts with its depth of threat intelligence and breadth of capabilities across the Kroll business.

The Gartner Market Guide for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Retainer Services outlines the importance of expertise. It also highlights the growing significance of having a DFIR retainer to ensure a level of readiness, mitigate the impact of an incident and improve the organizations’ overall risk posture for cyber insurability.

Kroll’s experience in handling thousands of incidents yearly and serving on more than 85 insurance panels gives it the experience and scalability to handle incidents, quickly, effectively and comprehensively for clients. Especially important when broad sweeping incidents–such as the CrowdStrike and Log4J incident–take down multiple organizations simultaneously, Kroll’s cyber risk retainer offers its customers peace of mind that they can protect their infrastructure, reputation and value.

Adam Malone, Global Head of Acute Events, Cyber Risk at Kroll, said: “We welcome the recognition from Gartner for our DFIR services and cyber risk retainer. Now in our fifth year of being named in the DFIR Market Guide, this is just the tip of the iceberg for the decades of experience we bring to the table in an incident response engagement. With a breadth of services from threat intelligence to litigation support, and a bench deep in both technical and intelligence expertise, we have the teams to scale our services market-wide and handle even the most complex and wide-reaching cyber investigations. Our retainers serve as a critical lifeline to our clients. They are not just contracts but a commitment to ensuring the best outcomes for our partners at a very difficult time in their business. We value the trust they place in us.”

This recognition follows Kroll Responder being named a representative vendor in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response (subscription required) for the third consecutive year.
