Smarter mobile investigations: Tools for today’s forensic service providers

By

Mobile devices are now central to digital investigations, yet extracting and analyzing mobile data remains complex—especially for forensic service providers (FSPs) handling eDiscovery, internal investigations, and remote collections. This webinar explores key challenges such as BYOD, data fragmentation, and legal defensibility, and introduces practical solutions like full file system extractions, category-based filtering, and same-day access to mobile evidence using Magnet Verakey and Magnet Axiom Cyber. Learn how FSPs can streamline workflows, reduce risk, and deliver faster, more reliable results.

UK Cyber Security & Resilience Bill: How investigative teams can prepare today

By

The UK government’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill marks one of the most significant updates to the UK’s national cyber legislation in years. It reflects the reality that cyberattacks are now an operational certainty, and organizations, especially those supporting critical services, must be able to detect, investigate, and respond to incidents far more quickly and transparently than before. 

S2:E5 // A Tale of Two Timelines

By

In digital investigations, time isn’t just a factor — it’s the framework that holds the story together. In this episode, A Tale of Two Timelines, our hosts explore how timeline analysis serves as the backbone of both Incident Response and Digital Forensics.

From the urgency of containment to the precision of post-mortem analysis, timelines illuminate what happened, when, and how. On the IR side, Doug demonstrates a streamlined workflow that transforms triage collections into unified, event-driven timelines — automating artifact extraction and correlation to reveal patterns of compromise and recovery.

Then, shifting to the forensic lens, Jeff highlights advanced case analysis workflows that visualize activity chronologies, isolate pivotal moments, and export structured data for cross-case correlation. The result: a single cohesive view that bridges rapid response and in-depth examination.
 
By combining real-time event triage with deep forensic correlation, A Tale of Two Timelines shows how investigators can achieve a clearer picture, faster — and gain a decisive investigative edge.

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.
