Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is a critical component of cyber security, providing organisations with the capabilities to investigate security incidents, gather evidence, and respond effectively to cyber threats. By leveraging digital forensic techniques and methodologies, organisations can identify the root causes of security incidents, mitigate risks, and strengthen their overall cyber security posture.
Digital forensics, also known as computer forensics, focuses on investigating and analysing digital evidence to uncover the cause of security incidents, identify perpetrators, and gather evidence for legal proceedings. It involves the collection, preservation, examination, and analysis of digital artifacts from computers, networks, and electronic devices.
Here is an outline of Revio Cyber security’s Digital Forensics offering:
-
Incident Response:
We help organisations investigate security incidents such as data breaches, malware infections, insider threats, and unauthorised access. Our digital forensic analysts collect and analyse evidence from compromised systems to determine the scope and impact of the incident, identify the attack vector, and facilitate remediation efforts.
-
Evidence Collection and Preservation:
We collect and preserve digital evidence in a forensically sound manner to ensure its integrity and admissibility in legal proceedings. We use specialised tools and techniques to create forensic images of storage devices, capture volatile data from memory, and document the chain of custody to maintain the integrity of the evidence throughout the investigation process
-
Malware Analysis:
Our digital forensics team plays a crucial role in analysing and reverse-engineering malware to understand its behaviour, functionality, and impact on compromised systems. We examine malware samples, extract indicators of compromise (IOCs), and identify command and control (C2) infrastructure to develop countermeasures and enhance defences against future attacks.
-
Root Cause Analysis:
Our digital forensics team helps organisations conduct root cause analysis to identify the underlying factors and vulnerabilities that contributed to security incidents. Forensic investigations uncover security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and human errors that may have enabled attackers to compromise systems or gain unauthorised access, allowing organisations to address systemic issues and prevent recurrence.
-
Legal and Regulatory Compliance:
Our digital forensic investigations provide admissible evidence for legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, and law enforcement actions related to cybersecurity incidents. Forensic analysts produce detailed reports and documentation of their findings, which may be used as evidence in civil or criminal cases, regulatory inquiries, or internal disciplinary actions.
-
Incident Attribution:
We help attribute cyber-attacks to specific threat actors or entities based on evidence collected during the investigation. We analyse artifacts such as IP addresses, file metadata, and attack patterns to identify indicators of attribution, including tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with known threat groups.
-
Data Recovery and Reconstruction:
We help organisations recover and reconstruct lost or deleted data from storage devices, including files, emails, and other digital artifacts. Our forensic analysts use specialised tools and techniques to recover deleted files, carve data from unallocated space, and reconstruct file systems to recover critical evidence relevant to the investigation.
-
Incident Documentation and Reporting:
We produce detailed reports documenting the findings, analysis, and conclusions of the investigation. These reports provide a comprehensive overview of an incident, including a timeline of events, evidence collected, analysis conducted, and recommendations for mitigating future risks. The reports serve as a valuable resource for stakeholders, including management, legal counsel, and law enforcement agencies.
