Post hack investigations are conducted by certified forensic investigators. Their obligation is to discover the point of entry, what was taken, what was changed, what was left behind, where did the miscreant go and possibly who they are. A report is compiled and made ready to present in a court of law to justify criminal charges, insurance payouts and internal investigations and prevention methods.
- Incident Response and Digital Forensics:
- Rapid response to cybersecurity incidents, including data breaches, network intrusions, and insider threats, to minimize the impact and contain the breach.
- Collection and preservation of digital evidence from compromised systems, including volatile memory, disk images, and log files.
- Analysis of forensic artifacts to determine the root cause of the incident, identify the attacker’s tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and support legal proceedings if necessary.
- Data Recovery and Reconstruction:
- Retrieval of lost or deleted data from storage devices, including hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and mobile devices, using specialized forensic tools and techniques.
- Reconstructing digital artifacts and timelines to establish a comprehensive understanding of events leading up to and following the data loss or compromise.
- Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering:
- Examination of malicious software (malware) samples to identify their functionality, behavior, and impact on compromised systems.
- Reverse engineering of malware binaries and network traffic to uncover hidden features, command-and-control infrastructure, and evasion techniques employed by threat actors.
- Network Forensics and Traffic Analysis:
- Capturing and analyzing network traffic to identify suspicious or unauthorized activities, such as data ex-filtration, command-and-control communication, and lateral movement within the network.
Utilization of network forensics tools and packet capture (PCAP) analysis to reconstruct network sessions and uncover evidence of malicious behavior.
