Comprehensive forensic investigations across cloud platforms, hybrid environments, and network infrastructures. Our experts navigate complex cloud architectures and network topologies to uncover digital evidence with precision and speed.
Cloud forensics involves the identification, collection, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence from cloud computing environments. With 94% of enterprises using cloud services, cloud evidence has become critical to modern investigations.
Cloud environments present unique forensic challenges due to their distributed nature, multi-tenancy, and dynamic resource allocation. Our experts specialize in overcoming these challenges:
Evidence spread across multiple regions, zones, and availability sets requiring coordinated collection
Isolating evidence in shared infrastructure while maintaining chain of custody
Rapid preservation of short-lived instances, containers, and serverless functions
Analysis of complex identity policies, permissions, and authentication patterns
Comprehensive collection of cloud artifacts including logs, configurations, storage data, and metadata while maintaining chain of custody and legal defensibility.
Rapid response to cloud security incidents including unauthorized access, data breaches, insider threats, and compliance violations in cloud environments.
Our cloud forensic investigations cover all major aspects of cloud environments, from infrastructure to application layers across all major platforms.
Virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions analysis
Object storage, block storage, and file systems investigation
Virtual networks, load balancers, and DNS analysis
IAM policies, roles, and authentication log analysis
We examine numerous log sources across cloud platforms to build complete investigation timelines:
API calls, configuration changes, and administrative events
Resource access, data operations, and transaction records
Threat detection, vulnerability scanning, and compliance alerts
Authentication, authorization, and directory service events
Network forensics involves capturing, recording, and analyzing network events to discover the source of security attacks or other problem incidents. Our capabilities span traditional and cloud-native networks.
We leverage multiple evidence sources to reconstruct events and identify malicious activity across network layers:
Deep inspection of network packets including headers and payloads for protocol analysis and session reconstruction.
Analysis of NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX data for traffic pattern recognition and anomaly detection.
Correlation of firewall, IDS/IPS, and proxy logs for comprehensive threat detection and analysis.
Our network forensic methodology employs multiple advanced techniques:
Examining network traffic patterns, behaviors, and communication anomalies
Proactive search for indicators of compromise and advanced persistent threats
Recreating security incidents from disparate network evidence sources
We utilize specialized tools and platforms designed for cloud and network forensic investigations across hybrid environments.
Exabeam, Splunk, Elastic Security, and Azure Sentinel for cloud log aggregation, correlation, and analysis across multiple cloud providers with automated timeline generation.
Wireshark, NetworkMiner, tcpdump, and Zeek for comprehensive packet capture, protocol analysis, network traffic reconstruction, and behavioral analysis.
AWS Security Hub, Google Cloud Security Command Center, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud for native cloud security monitoring, investigation, and automated response.
Graylog, LogRhythm, and QRadar for centralized log collection, normalization, analysis, and correlation across cloud and on-premise environments.
