Defensive & Managed SOC

Digital Forensics (DFIR)

After an incident - or a suspected one - you need defensible answers. Our DFIR team performs forensically-sound investigation of endpoints, servers, cloud and mobile, preserving evidence and reconstructing the attacker's actions.

Overview

Following a security incident, insider threat, or legal dispute, you need objective, evidence-grade answers. Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) involves the scientific acquisition, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence to reconstruct exactly what occurred.

Our digital forensics team operates a state-of-the-art forensic lab. We perform deep examinations of host memory, disk images, mobile devices, and cloud logs, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody. We translate complex technical artifacts into clear, defensible reports suitable for legal, HR, or regulatory proceedings.
