S2:E4 // Voices from the field: Trends, challenges, and what’s next in DFIR

By

Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) has evolved rapidly from purely reactive investigations to incorporating proactive approaches that utilize cloud-powered forensics and AI. But while the tools and techniques may have advanced, so too have the complexities: hybrid and remote workforces, supply chain compromises, expanding attack surfaces, and the increasing pressure to collect evidence before it disappears.
 
In this special episode of Cyber Unpacked, hosts Doug Metz, Senior Security Forensics Specialist, and Jeff Rutherford, Forensic Consultant, bring together a panel of DFIR leaders to explore the state of digital investigations today. We’ll unpack some of the top challenges investigative teams face, from AI’s opportunities and risks to common pitfalls they’ve overcome. They’ll also share how different organizations are adapting, why celebrating internal wins matters, and what trends DFIR leaders should be paying attention to next.
 
Join us for what’s sure to be a lively discussion on where DFIR is headed, and how you can equip your team to respond with speed, accuracy, and confidence in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

From alerts to answers: Digital forensics in modern IR

By

An alert tells you that something happened, but only digital forensics solutions and methods reveal the full chain of events. It’s the key to understanding how an attack started, how far it spread, what actions the adversary took, and what it will take to respond and recover effectively.

Magnet Forensics equips DFIR teams with that deeper visibility. With Magnet Nexus and Magnet Axiom Cyber, and a unique integrated deployment approach with our new hybrid collection agent — you can rapidly capture data across endpoints and cloud, uncover artifacts beyond what SIEMs and EDRs provide, and connect adversary activity to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for clearer context. With Magnet Automate, streamline repetitive tasks and trigger collections from alert to reduce delays.

In this webinar, Laura Carey, Solutions Consultant, will walk through a business email compromise (BEC) investigation to demonstrate how Magnet’s solutions enable DFIR teams to move from initial alerts to uncovering the truth with triage to deep dive forensic capabilities.

How to execute defensible, comprehensive legal holds with digital forensics

By

When business data is distributed across cloud platforms, remote endpoints, mobile devices, and virtual systems, organizations face complex challenges responding to litigation or regulatory events, such as legal holds for eDiscovery investigations. Legal teams must not only identify and preserve electronically stored information (ESI) but also ensure the authenticity, integrity, and defensibility of the evidence collected.

How to support early case assessment in eDiscovery with digital forensics

By

Early case assessment (ECA) is a critical first step in the eDiscovery process, one that directly influences cost, efficiency, and legal strategy. By conducting effective scoping at the outset, identifying which custodians, data sources, and timeframes are most relevant, organizations can reduce the volume of data collected, clarify legal exposure, and make informed decisions about whether to settle, negotiate, or proceed with litigation.
