Most cyber retainers help organizations respond after an attack. Beazley Security’s Cyber Resilience Retainer goes further, helping organizations prepare for, contain, recover from, and coordinate every stage of a cyber crisis.
Available at no upfront cost and including 60 days of Halcyon anti-ransomware protection when activated, the Cyber Resilience Retainer delivers immediate access to the people, processes, and technology needed to manage cyber incidents with confidence.
By combining incident management, digital forensics & incident response (DFIR), data restoration and recovery services, and Halcyon's industry-leading anti-ransomware capabilities within a single integrated offering, the Cyber Resilience Retainer provides organizations with comprehensive support before, during, and after a cyber incident. Rather than focusing solely on technical investigation, it delivers the expertise, coordination, and resilience capabilities needed to manage the full business impact of a cyber event.
Incident Management Expertise

The Retainer Model
The Cyber Resilience Retainer is designed to ensure organizations have the relationships, expertise, processes, and capabilities you need to respond in place before a cyber incident occurs.
Traditional retainers are often activated only after an attack has taken place, requiring organizations to rapidly identify vendors, establish contracts, and coordinate multiple stakeholders during a period of significant operational stress.
The Cyber Resilience Retainer removes these barriers in advance.
Why It's Different
The Only Retainer Built Around Business Outcomes
Traditional incident response retainers focus on investigating what happened. Beazley Security’s Cyber Resilience Retainer is focused on helping organizations achieve the best possible business outcome throughout the crisis and recover.
It is the only retainer that combines incident management, forensic investigation, recovery expertise, and proactive anti-ransomware protection within a single solution. Organizations gain coordinated access to cyber breach coaches, DFIR experts, recovery specialists, incident managers, and ransomware experts through one engagement model.
The service addresses the full spectrum of risks created by a cyber incident, including technical, operational, legal, regulatory, financial, and reputational challenges. With ransomware resilience capabilities powered by Halcyon and a zero-cost retainer structure, organizations have immediate access to expertise when every minute matters.
Managing a cyber crisis is often more challenging than managing the technology behind it. Cyber incidents create multiple workstreams that must be coordinated simultaneously, involving technical responders, executives, legal advisors, insurers, communications teams, regulators, and external stakeholders.
The Cyber Resilience Retainer provides direct access to experienced Incident Management specialists who orchestrate every aspect of the response. These experts coordinate legal counsel and breach coaches, manage engagement with crisis communications and public relations teams, facilitate access to ransomware negotiation specialists and breach notification providers, and ensure recovery and technical response teams remain aligned throughout the incident.
The Cyber Resilience Retainer provides direct access to experienced Incident Management specialists who orchestrate every aspect of the response.
The experts:
Coordinate legal counsel and breach coaches
Manage engagement with crisis communications and public relations teams
Facilitate access to ransomware negotiation specialists and breach notification providers
Ensure recovery and technical response teams remain aligned throughout the incident.
Having managed thousands of cyber incidents, our specialists understand that effective orchestration is often the defining factor between prolonged business disruption and a successful recovery.
By providing a single point of coordination, the Cyber Resilience Retainer reduces complexity, improves decision-making, and enables organizations to focus on protecting critical business functions during a crisis.
Digital Forensics, Incident Response & Recovery
When a cyber incident occurs, organizations need more than visibility into what happened. They need experienced specialists who can quickly determine the scope of the incident, contain the threat, and help restore business operations.
Beazley Security's Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) and Recovery teams provide the technical expertise required to investigate cyber incidents, understand attacker activity, and support organizations through every stage of response and recovery. From ransomware attacks and business email compromise to data breaches and insider threats, our specialists work rapidly to identify the root cause of an incident, assess the impact, preserve critical evidence, and guide containment efforts.
As the investigation progresses, our recovery experts help organizations prioritize business-critical systems, coordinate restoration activities, validate the integrity of recovered environments, and reduce operational disruption. Working in close partnership with Incident Management specialists and Halcyon's ransomware experts, the DFIR and Recovery teams ensure technical response, business priorities, and recovery objectives remain aligned throughout the engagement.
This integrated approach helps organizations move beyond incident containment and focus on a safe, effective, and accelerated return to normal operations.
Powered by Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Protection
A core component of the Cyber Resilience Retainer is Halcyon's purpose-built anti-ransomware technology and operational expertise, designed specifically to prevent, contain, and remediate ransomware threats.
These capabilities are backed by the Halcyon Ransomware Operations Center, which provides continuous ransomware-focused threat intelligence, expert guidance, and operational support throughout the engagement. Powered by AI-driven detection, behavioral analytics, and ransomware-specific expertise, Halcyon complements existing security investments by providing a dedicated layer of ransomware resilience rather than replacing existing security controls.

If engaged before an encryption event:
Halcyon provides visibility into suspected ransomware activity and works proactively to stop exfiltration and encryption attempts before damage occurs. During an active attack, Halcyon focuses on containing the threat, stopping lateral movement, and preventing further encryption across the environment.
If encryption has already occurred:
Halcyon continues to support incident response and recovery effort by monitoring for additional malicious activity, helping prevent further damage while response and recovery activities progress. The team also supports decryption efforts through key material capture and custom decryptor development, helping organizations accelerate recovery of encrypted systems wherever possible.
The Resilience Advantage for Clients
The Cyber Resilience Retainer eliminates procurement delays and engagement uncertainty during a crisis by establishing relationships, response processes, and specialist access before an incident occurs. This ensures rapid access to the expertise required at each stage of a cyber event, from forensic investigation and recovery to crisis communications and executive decision-making.
Organizations benefit from improved coordination, faster access to resources, and greater confidence in their ability to navigate complex technical, legal, regulatory, financial, and reputational challenges. Recovery outcomes are strengthened through proactive planning, coordinated response management, and dedicated ransomware resilience capabilities.
Most importantly, the Cyber Resilience Retainer helps organizations move beyond a reactive approach to cybersecurity. It provides the support, expertise, and resilience capabilities needed to withstand attacks, navigate crises effectively, and recover with confidence.
