Calm Under Fire. Decisive Under Pressure.
A cybersecurity incident is not a theoretical exercise — it is a high-pressure, time-critical crisis that demands immediate, coordinated action. Most organizations discover their incident response plan is inadequate only when they need it most.
Daniel Ossio brings a unique composure to incident response. As a world-record wingsuit pilot who routinely makes split-second decisions at 280 km/h, he applies the same calculated precision and crisis-tested calm to managing cyber incidents — from initial detection through containment, eradication, and recovery.
Incident Response Services
Rapid Containment
Immediate threat isolation to stop lateral movement and data exfiltration. Containment strategies that preserve forensic evidence while protecting business operations.
Forensic Investigation
Root cause analysis with full evidence chain preservation. Log analysis, malware reverse engineering, and attack path reconstruction to understand exactly what happened.
Crisis Communication
Coordinating internal and external communications during incidents. Board briefings, regulatory notifications, and stakeholder management under pressure.
Programme Development
Building comprehensive incident response programmes: playbooks, escalation procedures, tabletop exercises, and team training for sustained readiness.
The Incident Response Lifecycle
- Preparation: Building response capabilities, defining roles, establishing communication channels, and rehearsing scenarios
- Detection & Analysis: Identifying indicators of compromise, triaging alerts, and determining scope and severity
- Containment: Isolating affected systems, preventing lateral movement, and preserving evidence for investigation
- Eradication & Recovery: Removing threat actors, restoring systems, and validating clean state before returning to operations
- Post-Incident Review: Lessons learned, process improvements, and strengthening defences to prevent recurrence
Why Daniel's Approach is Different
Most incident responders operate from checklists and theory. Daniel's approach is forged in real-world crisis situations — both in cybersecurity SOCs and at terminal velocity. The ability to remain analytical while adrenaline surges, to prioritize ruthlessly when everything feels urgent, and to communicate clearly when stakeholders are panicking — these skills are trained, not taught. And Daniel has trained them for 25 years.
