Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) is an essential part of cybersecurity, focused on identification, investigation, remediation, and also providing information for legal cases or investigations. DFIR mainly has two components:
Digital Forensics: It is a subset of forensic sciences in which digital devices like computers,phones, or even cloud instances are examined to find evidence.
Incident Response: The process of containing the threat, investigating the incident, mitigating the damage, and taking steps to prevent future incidents is known as Incident response.
As a leading digital forensics service provider, Threat ResQ provides a wide range of experienced digital forensics services for our clients to assist them with their investigations. Our experts will assist you in the collection, examination, and presentation of digital evidence of the incident.
Our experts utilize industry-approved tools and methodologies to investigate and recover the systems or digital data, and we use our expertise in threat intelligence to prepare the security posture of your business to defend against future incidents.
Step 1: Detection: Our tech stack at Threat ResQ will help in the detection of the cyberattack in the quickest time possible.
Step 2: Incident Response: Our exceptional and experienced personnel will help the organizations in their immediate response to contain the threat while analyzing the event.
Step 3: Investigation: Threat ResQ’s expert digital forensics team then leads the investigation into the cyber incident, collects all the digital evidence and threat intelligence data, and does an in-depth analysis to understand the attack.
Step 4: Mitigation and Reporting: Preparing a detailed incident report while suggesting and implementing measures to prevent future attacks. The systems will be put under 24/7 monitoring to prevent the recurrence of the attacks.
Our digital forensics experts create a set of rules for examining the evidence. Every effort is made during the analysis of the evidence, to keep the original digital information safe.
Our experts carefully study the evidence on their own according to the rules and approach to make sure all the facts are correct and double-check if the evidence has been looked at properly.
A forensic report is made, which provides insight into what an expert will say. You can also ask our experts to prepare a direct examination for yourself and a cross-examination for an opposing expert.
Digital forensics is a critical aspect of today’s case law. In some instances, if the evidence is not asked for correctly with the proper technical terminology, or if someone does not properly understand how to access the evidence, receiving incorrect information or nothing at all will be the outcome.
As a result of the increased use of computers in all arenas of life, forensic software and hardware have been developed to assist and guide law enforcement officials. This may be in the form of determining if the system has been compromised or monitoring the activities of data on an electronic device.
Proposals and agreements should be drafted before work can even begin. Our digital forensics experts will draft a protocol for examination of the evidence. This protocol will ensure that all parties involved continue to work under these terms and conditions. Every effort is made during an analysis to preserve the original digital information.
Our experts use a thorough, independent analysis of the evidence to ensure that all facts are accurate and to determine if evidence has been properly analyzed. As with any situation, there will always be some potential errors in conclusions drawn due to human error.
Every case is treated as if it were going to trial by our experts.
A forensic report provides insight into what an expert will say. You can also ask our experts to prepare a direct examination for yourself and a cross-examination for an opposing expert.
As part of a forensic investigation, a series of events occur. Among these events are:
Digital Forensics Consultation: A subject matter expert in digital forensics will work together with you to determine what information needs to be collected, ensure that the correct tools are used, and provide insight into a wide range of issues from preservation concerns to data analysis and reporting.
Digital Forensics Acquisition: During the acquisition phase, we’ll work with you to track down every last bit of information that can help your case. We stay in constant contact and update you regularly.
Our experts make forensic images and copies of computers, servers, cell phones, cloud data, and/or social media using on-site collections.
Digital Forensics Analysis: In addition to recovering deleted data, our experts examine the data using specialized forensic technology and methods. With our in-depth analysis, we aim to understand what happened, how it happened, and who could be liable.
Analyzing the data enables us to answer questions such as::
Digital Forensics Reporting
In this stage, the technical explanation of what transpired in a case is set out. This report would include an explanation and analysis of forensic artefacts that point toward proof of user attribution, for instance, if there were suspicions that a former employee had stolen intellectual property. Specifically, what files were accessed, how they were removed from the organisation, who took the data when it was stolen, and what possible uses they may have.
Digital Forensics Expert Testimony
An expert in digital forensics must first be qualified before they can testify in court. If the expert's credentials are contested, the lawyer who retained the expert must provide evidence that the expert has the required educational and professional background. These inquiries cover matters such as the expert's training, credentials, case experience, and specialised knowledge. A specialist must also communicate difficult technical issues in simple terms in order to be effective. Our experts are adept at explaining technology in a way that fact-finders in a case can understand.
