Cyber Operations & Incident Response
We have broad experience investigating, characterizing, and containing complex cyber incidents across a range of industries, working seamlessly with corporate IT and security teams, legal counsel, and law enforcement investigators.
BRG’s Cyber Operations and Incident Response team includes former federal law enforcement cyber investigators, computer scientists, and other industry-recognized professionals who have conceived and led some of the most significant cyber operations of the internet era.
As former law enforcement investigators, certain members of the team spearheaded the investigation and arrest of the administrators of Silk Road, a notorious $1.2 billion underground drug website, seizing hundreds of thousands of bitcoins in the process—the largest such seizure ever. These members orchestrated a worldwide law enforcement shutdown of Silk Road 2.0 and other illicit darknet marketplaces. They have investigated, identified, and arrested the leadership of the prolific “hacktivist” groups Anonymous and LulzSec.
