Forensic Investigation

CYREBRO’s Forensic Investigation

Forensic investigation is an important component for any business that takes its cyber defense seriously. Your SOC is responsible for performing forensic investigation during and after an attack to help understand what happened, where it happened, to what systems and machines, and any digital footprint left by intruders.

Defeating Anti-Forensics Methods 

Forensic Investigation is a basic need for any business which takes its cyber defense seriously. With the help of CYREBRO’s platform, small and medium-sized businesses can now benefit from forensic investigation capabilities without the need to hire forensics analysts or even maintain a physical SOC

Phases of Digital Forensics 

These phases elaborate a complete path that computer hacking forensic investigators must finish by using their cyber digital forensic tools such as CYREBRO’s SOC platform. Below are the phases of digital forensics:

Phase 1: First Response

Phase 2: Search and Seizure

Phase 3: Collect Evidence

Phase 4: Secure Evidence

Phase 5: Data Acquisition

Phase 6: Data Analysis

Phase 7: Assess Evidence

Phase 8: Reporting and Documentation

Phase 9: Testify as an Expert witness

Gathering Evidence 

An effective digital forensics tool and team can collect data from multiple devices, computers, laptops, mobile devices, USB drives, servers, hard drives, digital cameras, and so forth. The data can be evidence and, thus, it must not be damaged or modified during acquisition. Your SOC’s forensic investigation capability should enable data collection from numerous sources accurately without damaging original evidence.

Tracking and Investigating Email Crimes

Since emails are a widely used way of electronic communication, scammers employ various techniques, such as phishing, to compromise both private and corporate emails.

Proper digital forensics helps you investigate email crimes by tracking, analyzing, and investigating cyber trails and digital evidence through fast and accurate analysis to detect and prevent various email crimes such as:

• Email Hijacking
• Phishing Attacks
• Email Spoofing
• Email Spamming
• Mail Bombing or Mail Storm
• Identity Fraud/Chain Letters

Performing Malware Forensics

No organization can be free of cybersecurity threats and attacks unless it is thoroughly protected against the menace of malicious code or scripts, known as malware. Digital forensic investigations are incomplete without investigating malware.

A forensic solution should aid in detecting malicious scripts or code manipulation and how the malware behaves on the infected system. It should discover indicators of compromise (IoC) and help locate malicious artifacts throughout the network. Doing so can help you and your team analyze the scope, severity, and repercussions of the security incident and sometimes even identify the perpetrators.

Conducting Data Exfiltration Forensics

Any digital forensic tool is incomplete if it cannot investigate the illegal transmission of critical data and information from your corporate network to clandestine hackers. Your team must be equipped with an appropriate digital forensic tool to detect and investigate data exfiltration. Conducting a full-scale investigation when necessary is critical for a SOC to be able to provide the network its securing.
