"I am excited to expand our relationship with PacketWatch and offer an expert team of incident response and investigations professionals to our clients,” said Michael Corcione, global cybersecurity and privacy risk management lead at HKA. “Supporting organizations throughout an incident, from detection, investigation, and post-incident response analysis is a critical service.”
