Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and regular Incident Response (IR) share a common goal: respond to and mitigate cybersecurity incidents. However, DFIR takes a more specialized and holistic approach by incorporating forensic analysis to better understand the attack. Here’s how DFIR differs:
As with any type of incident response, quickly containing the security incident is top priority, however, DFIR emphasizes forensic analysis to better understand the attack and how best to galvanize the network against future attempts.
DFIR typically includes strict adherence to evidence preservation protocols to ensure that findings are admissible in court for legal, compliance, or insurance requirements.
DFIR specialists typically have certifications and/or experience in evidence handling and malware analysis in addition to cybersecurity and breach handling.
Requiring evidence for insurance claims or law enforcement.
Where compliance requires understanding the extent of the compromise.
Involving detailed investigation of malicious activities by employees.
Where evidence must be admissible in court.
