Over the past few years, companies have taken proactive steps in an attempt to mitigate the risk associated with data breaches and protect their sensitive information. But, when a breach occurs, stakeholders in decision-making positions feel the pressure and scrutiny associated with the job of responding to the breach. The investigation steps, evidence required, and decision points are dependent on the type of breach experienced, making legal and forensic expertise critical to the response effort.
The recent upswing in high profile cyberattacks and data breaches has taught us that, while a fact-based understanding of exactly what happened is important, without insight into how the attacker gained original access to the environment, known as root cause analysis, similar breaches can and often do simply reoccur. Forensic investigations are and will continue to be integral in the overall data breach investigation as companies seek to prevent similar intrusions in the future.
