Network Forensics and Intrusion Analysis

What is Network Forensics?

Network forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics relating to the monitoring and analysis of computer network traffic for the purposes of information gathering, legal evidence, or intrusion detection. Unlike other areas of digital forensics, network investigations deal with volatile and dynamic information. Network traffic is transmitted and then lost, so network forensics is often a pro-active investigation.

Our team has the ability to monitor your whole network infrastructure, analysing and looking for evidence that you want to specifically trace.

Network Forensics is a Growing Field

The evolution of network security, as well as its associated forensic processes and related toolsets, is largely driven by recent advances in Internet technologies. As more aspects of our daily lives migrate to online systems and databases—where they are subject to criminal activity— the need for sophisticated analysis tools is increasing accordingly.

What can you achieve by performing Network Forensics?

An example is, you are having the suspicion that there is an internal breach and data leakage taking place, for this to happen, someone is taking digital information out of your network, and analyzing all your network behavior, and traffic, our forensic team, will immediately know what to look for and provide proof, connecting the entities, so that you can trace the root cause of that issue.

Another way you can see it is after the GDPR enforcement, a company has 72 hours to report an intrusion or a breach, so that you will be responsible and liable for the protection of privacy of your employees and clients, our network forensics and intrusion analysis services will determine that and assess with our manual techniques, that involve us to work remotely, installing the necessary tools, to get the specific details out of your network, the fastest way, because in a real-world, after an attack, you need to be also taking care of erasing the traces linking back to you as the attacker, and working together will enable us to extract the information needed.

Some of the methodologies, mindset and what to expect from our solution:

• Analysing computer systems network traffic gathering evidence for use in a court of law, or for your internal company.
• Analysing a computer system after an intrusion or break in from a network perspective tracing the attacks.
• Gaining information about how computer systems work for the purposes of debugging them, reverse engineering the traffic by looking at the raw packets from inside your network, analysing the source and destination and providing the exact proof of the outcome.
• Collecting and analysing data packets to detect and locate an internal or external malicious attack from daily reports extracted after logging the whole traffic so that the forensic team analyses the outcome after a period of time agreed to monitor.

Network Forensics are ideal for analyzing network traffic from any type of hardware ranging from PCs, Notebooks, Servers, Smart Watches, Smart Tvs, Wifi Devices.
