That's an industry now? What do you guys do?

Quite a lot, actually. This is really a summation and not comprehensive.

Evaluate an environment after incident:
- looking for IOCs, determine spread
- Determine backup status and restore if possible
- Return environment to healthy state (AD restore, replication, networking, etc.,)
- Lockdown of security holes
- Advise on best practices going forward
Decrypt environment if client pays ransom

etc., etc.

Depending on the complexity of the environment, this can take a lot of time and effort: much bigger than most internal teams are capable of doing. A client I had in Feb-Mar lasted a total of 3200 hours of work between 12 people on my team across 34 locations to unfuck the situation.
