What is cyber security forensic analysis?

Forensic analysis in cyber security refers to the investigation and examination of digital evidence after a security incident or breach. Its goal is to understand what happened, how it happened, and who was behind it, and to gather legally admissible evidence if needed.

What are the core objectives for forensic analysis?

Breach Identification

When did it happen?

Time stamping the data breach is vital due to the regulatory requirements regarding reporting the breach.

What systems or data were affected?

Knowing the depth of the breach will allow for faster recovery and more informed root cause analysis.

Evidence Collation and Preservation

Forensic tools help you secure the data without tampering or modifying timestamps.

Correct collation of evidence is important due to the legal requirements and also the prerequisites for insurance claims etc.

Malicious Activity Analysis

Forensic tooling supports faster and a more accurate review of system logs, user actions, file changes, and network traffic.

Assessing the actions undertaken by a malicious actor is the only way you can discover the root cause of the breach and also how to ensure breach containment.

Attack Surface and Methodology

Effective incident management requires a thorough understanding of the route cause of the data breach.

Was it malware, phishing, insider threat, or vulnerability exploitation. This directly supports containment and recovery activities.

Compliance and Insurance Requirements

Without thorough forensic analysis it is very difficult to comply with some of the legal requirements and management actions required by your cyber insurance.

Forensic services provide a clear, documented chain of evidence for prosecution and reporting.
