IT Forensics and Incident Response (IR) are two essential components of cybersecurity. IT forensics is the process of investigating and analyzing digital data to identify the source and nature of a security breach or cyber-attack. Incident Response involves the coordinated efforts to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents quickly and effectively. Both IT forensics and Incident Response are critical for protecting an organization’s digital assets and minimizing the impact of security incidents. The timely implementation of IT forensics and Incident Response can help organizations prevent and mitigate future cyber-attacks, minimize financial losses and reputational damage.
