Incident Response & Penetration Testing

When something goes wrong, you do not have time to figure out who to call.

LBT Technology Group provides Sacramento-area businesses on-demand incident response and penetration testing, backed by dedicated cybersecurity specialists. If your business is hit with ransomware, a data breach, or a compromised account, you get a fast, coordinated response, not a scramble.

A Breach Does Not Wait for Business Hours

Cyberattacks do not happen on a schedule, and the businesses that recover fastest are the ones that had a plan and a partner in place before the incident, not after. Through our partnership with Optimize Cyber, LBT clients get access to specialized incident response and offensive security expertise that goes beyond day-to-day IT support.

What Is Incident Response?

Incident response is what happens during and immediately after a cyberattack: the process of figuring out what happened, stopping it from spreading, and getting your business safely back up and running.

On-Demand Incident Response

  • Rapid engagement
  • Containment and investigation
  • Clear, plain-language guidance
  • Recovery support
  • Documentation for insurance claims, notifications, or regulatory reporting when needed

What Is Penetration Testing?

A penetration test is a controlled, authorized attempt to break into your own systems using the same techniques a real attacker would use, so you find weaknesses before someone with bad intentions does.

Penetration Testing: Find the Gaps Before Attackers Do

  • External network testing
  • Internal network testing
  • Web application testing
  • Clear, prioritized recommendations

Local Relationship. Specialized Expertise.

You still have one point of contact: LBT. Behind the scenes, you have access to specialists focused on incident response and offensive security testing.

Do Not Wait for an Incident to Ask, “Who Do We Call?”

Common questions

Know how these services fit your security program.

The response-time commitment will be added after it is confirmed with Optimize Cyber.

Do I need this if I already have antivirus or endpoint protection?

Yes. Antivirus and EDR are critical prevention and detection layers, but no tool catches everything. Incident response is what happens when something gets through, and penetration testing checks for gaps those tools cannot see, such as weak configurations, exposed credentials, or human error.

What is the difference between incident response and penetration testing?

Penetration testing happens before an attack, on your terms, to find and fix weaknesses proactively. Incident response happens during or after an attack to contain damage and return the business to normal. Together, they cover prevention and reaction.

Does this help with cyber insurance?

Documented incident response capabilities and regular penetration testing may strengthen underwriting and renewal conversations, while thorough incident documentation can support a future claim. Specific policy questions should always be directed to your insurance broker.
