Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)

Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) involves investigating cybersecurity events to understand what happened, how, and why. Digital forensics uncovers and analyzes digital evidence—like files, logs, and network activity—to identify malicious activity or data breaches. Incident Response focuses on managing and mitigating these security incidents promptly to minimize damage and prevent future attacks. Together, DFIR helps organizations detect threats, react effectively, and gather crucial evidence for legal or disciplinary actions, ensuring digital security and maintaining trust.
