S3:E6 // Busting the myths that are costing you evidence
“Just reimage it.”
“We have EDR, so we don’t need forensics.”
“They cleared the logs, so the trail is gone.”
Some advice in DFIR keeps getting repeated long after it has stopped being true, and it quietly costs teams evidence, root cause, and credibility. In this episode of Cyber Unpacked, Doug Metz and Jeff Rutherford put the most common myths in digital forensics & incident response on trial.
One defends the myth, the other takes it apart, and each gets a verdict: busted, plausible, or it depends.
We’ll look at what survives log clearing, why “no malware” doesn’t mean “not compromised,” where MFA and cloud logging fall short, and when pulling the plug is the right call.
Every myth ends with a “do this instead” you can take back to your team, and we’ll reveal how the community voted in our pre-show polls.
