Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.
Check back each week for new content and helpful resources.
Cybersecurity is more than prevention and remediation—it’s digital forensics too.
Every October, organizations around the world take part in Cybersecurity Awareness Month, with this year’s theme being “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.”
However, a part of cybersecurity that hasn’t gotten much attention is how digital forensics fits into the picture. Until now.
Magnet Forensics will be providing helpful resources that demonstrate how—and why—digital forensics can be an integral component of your cybersecurity plan.
WEEK 1: OCTOBER 4
Be Cyber Smart
The first week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is all about going back to basics. The basics of corporate cybersecurity often include threat detection, prevention, quarantine and remediation. But what about validation of threats? Or deep dive digital forensics to gather evidence for a ransomware investigation or an IP theft case? Without a DFIR solution at your fingertips, your cybersecurity toolkit is incomplete.

WEEK 2: OCTOBER 11
Fight the Phish
According to one of Cisco’s cyberthreat trend reports: 86% of organizations had at least one user try to connect to a phishing site. When a company’s security defenses fight the phish and lose, it’s important to have a digital forensics platform at your fingertips that can quickly identify the initial point of compromise and help mitigate further damage.

WEEK 4: OCTOBER 25
Cybersecurity First
Week 4 is all about making cybersecurity practices top-of-mind everyday. While it’s important to focus on making things like cybersecurity training a priority, there are still going to be security incidents. It’s equally—if not more important—to be prepared when a security incident happens to investigate quickly.
With accelerated adoption of the cloud for running critical apps and systems—including virtualization of your forensics lab and DFIR tools like Magnet AXIOM Cyber—there are ways to improve your security
posture so your evidence, network, and data is safe from cyberthreats.

Putting Your DFIR Lab in the Cloud: Lessons Learned
All signs are pointing to a hybrid workplace—and in some cases a fully remote workplace—being the reality for many businesses. DFIR professionals can reap many benefits from virtualizing their labs: everything from unlocking the ability to perform collections of endpoints not connected to your corporate network to the convenience of working from anywhere with an Internet connection.
Join Bill Odom, co-founder of Orbital Consulting, a DFIR and eDiscovery consulting firm who will share tips on how you can consider cybersecurity first when putting your lab in the cloud.
