FIRE (Forensic Incident Response)

FIRE (Forensic Incident Response) is a specialized process used by cybersecurity professionals to detect, investigate, and address cyber incidents like data breaches or hacking attempts. It involves carefully collecting and examining digital evidence from computers, networks, and devices to understand how the incident occurred, what damage was done, and who might be responsible. The goal is to respond quickly to limit harm, ensure accurate recovery, and gather information needed for legal or security actions. Essentially, FIRE helps organizations understand security breaches in detail and improve their defenses against future threats.
