Digital Forensics
Uncover the exact technical timeline, entry vector, and impact of a cyber intrusion.
Book AssessmentReconstructing Truth from Digital Fragments
When facing a sophisticated cyberattack, assumptions are dangerous. Atgardas Digital Forensics provides the definitive, court-admissible answers to what happened, how the attackers bypassed your defenses, and exactly what data they accessed.
We deploy deep analysis across compromised endpoints, servers, and network captures. Whether dealing with a zero-day exploit, a stealthy insider threat, or a destructive ransomware payload, our forensic specialists reconstruct the attacker’s movements step-by-step.
Our capabilities include Live Memory (RAM) Forensics to catch fileless malware in the act, Dead-Box Forensics of encrypted drives, and advanced Malware Reverse Engineering to understand the capabilities of custom attacker tooling.
Key Benefits & Deliverables
Root Cause Identification
Pinpoint exactly how the attacker breached the perimeter, closing the vulnerability before recovery begins.
Malware Reverse Engineering
Decompiling custom ransomware and backdoors to extract Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and test decryption feasibility.
Definitive Impact Analysis
Providing the exact logs and timelines necessary for regulatory reporting and cyber insurance claims.
Engagement Process
Evidence Acquisition
Securing bit-by-bit images of compromised drives and capturing volatile memory while maintaining chain of custody.
Timeline Reconstruction
Aggregating file system artifacts, registry keys, and event logs into a unified timeline of attacker activity.
Deep Analysis
Performing advanced reverse engineering on discovered payloads and tracing lateral movement across the network.
Reporting & Testimony
Delivering a comprehensive forensic report suitable for executive leadership, legal counsel, and law enforcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
The scientific process of preserving, identifying, extracting, and documenting computer evidence.
Yes. IR focuses on containment and recovery; Forensics focuses on deep analysis and determining the root cause.
Yes, all evidence is handled using strict cryptographic hashing and legal chain of custody protocols.
Yes, depending on the encryption state, we can often recover keys from memory or use advanced decryption techniques.
Yes, we analyze the binary to understand its encryption method and search for potential flaws.
Absolutely. We routinely perform investigations into employee data theft and corporate espionage.
It varies based on the number of systems involved, ranging from a few days to several weeks.
Yes, we perform mobile device forensics for iOS and Android platforms.
Yes, our documentation is prepared to meet the evidentiary standards required for legal proceedings.
Often, evidence can be acquired logically or via memory dumps without taking critical servers offline.
