Digital Forensics Services
Digital Forensics is the process of investigating and analyzing digital devices, networks, and systems to collect and preserve evidence related to cyber incidents or crimes.
Improbus uses a combination of techniques, tools, and procedures to identify, contain, and remediate security incidents, including malware infections, data breaches, and insider threats.
«Digital Forensics and Incident Response» is often abbreviated DFIR.
The ultimate goal of DFIR is to uncover the root cause of the incident, minimize the impact on the organization, and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Examples of DFIR processes:
- Evidence Collection: Collecting digital evidence is a critical step in any DFIR investigation. It involves identifying and preserving digital data related to the incident, such as log files, network traffic, system images, and other artifacts.
- Analysis: Once the evidence is collected, the analysis process begins. This involves examining the data to determine what happened, how it happened, and who was involved. DFIR analysts use a variety of tools and techniques, including forensic analysis, malware analysis, and network analysis, to identify the root cause of the incident.
- Containment: Once the incident is understood, the next step is to contain it to prevent further damage. This involves isolating affected systems, blocking network traffic, and disabling accounts or services that may be compromised.
- Remediation: Finally, the DFIR team must take steps to remediate the incident and restore affected systems to their pre-incident state. This may involve patching vulnerabilities, removing malware, or restoring data from backups.
These processes are not always linear, and they often overlap or occur simultaneously. However, they provide a structured framework for responding to security incidents and conducting effective DFIR investigations.
