Protecting sensitive media evidence with cloud security you can verify

By

Digital investigations are drowning in data. But every file, every record, and every byte still needs to be analyzed, authenticated, and preserved in strict compliance with legal requirements. Any lapse in management or storage can compromise your entire case. Cloud providers do more than promise security and scalability: they prove it. Independent certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, NIST, and FedRAMP offer critical security assurances to a wide range of users, including law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, defense attorneys, courts, and the public. This verifiable compliance ensures stored evidence can withstand legal scrutiny and maintain integrity throughout the judicial process. These certifications aren’t just technical checkboxes—they’re promises that data is protected with the highest integrity.

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.

Reclaim time in your digital investigations with Magnet One: Part 4 – Simplify your data management 

By

Managing the vast amounts of data generated in today’s investigations has become a major challenge for digital forensics labs. Not only do you need to acquire, process, and analyze the ever-growing volumes of digital evidence coming into your lab, but you must also find a way to securely and reliably manage it throughout your entire investigative lifecycle – any lapse in data availability, integrity, or chain of custody can compromise your entire investigation and derail a prosecution.

Tackling hyperlinked files in M365, Google and Slack and the impact on digital investigations

By

Whether you call them hyperlinked files, modern attachments or pointers to files in messages, we will discuss new developments impacting eDiscovery and digital investigations and why hyperlinked files are trending now even though they’ve been around for quite some time. This session will discuss if you should grab hyperlinked files and strengths and drawbacks, as well as data collection options. The proliferation of court cases will be addressed along with key points you need to know about this hot topic.

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.
