Digital Forensics Following Cyberattacks: What You Must Know And Do

Learn how to analyze digital forensics after an attack. Be prepared as an engineer or IT to handle these issues.

A February Wired magazine article proclaimed, “In 2022, cyber incidents will cause real and sustained disruption to our everyday comforts—and maybe kill people. This won’t be because of any great geopolitical development, but because a bunch of semi-sophisticated, well-organized…criminals are increasingly out of control.”

You need to know how to respond to a successful cyberattack on your organization before confusion and fear take over. To interface with the incident response and digital forensics analysts who quickly spring into action during a crisis, you must understand how they verify, contain, and eradicate a threat.

It is helpful for you to have advance insight into the following cybersecurity areas:

• MITRE ATT&CK framework
• Typical hacker techniques and tools
• Incident response process
• Incident management best practices
• Live Windows examination
• Network investigations
• Memory investigations
• Malware investigations
