Investigating, containing, and recovering from a security event are all common incident response objectives. Together with numerous tools, techniques, and procedures, they share a common heritage.
A powerful DFIR service offers firms vulnerable to threats and an agile reaction. DFIR assures that skilled personnel with an in-depth understanding of cyber issues will react to attacks efficiently.
Response time must be quick and thorough for DFIR to be successful. To respond to any incident quickly and effectively, digital forensic teams must have sufficient experience and the appropriate DFIR technologies and practices.
The current year will see incident response combining effectively with digital forensics in newer ways.
