Overview
Unparalled digital forensics expertise – as and when you need it
Digital forensics (or computer forensics) is the process of gathering critical evidence in the event of a data breach and investigating whether, and to what extent, an organisation’s data was compromised.
Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) focuses on identifying, investigating and remediating cyber-attacks. When a data breach event occurs, your company only has a limited amount of time in which to gather key evidence.
Kroll and Redscan’s global team of experts have unrivalled experience of using forensic software and protocols to perform data collection and data preservation following a breach.
