Investigation of information security incidents (forensics) — this service provides an opportunity to get a complete picture of an information security incident that has occurred in an organization. How information was hacked or leaked, what information systems were hacked, what tools were used by attackers. And most importantly - how to prevent the recurrence of a similar situation in the future.
The concept of an information security incident includes all actions that are not permitted or unacceptable within the framework of the information security policy, committed in the network or information system of the customer. The investigation of information security incidents is relevant for any business, since a successful investigation helps to minimize the negative economic consequences that such incidents lead to (leakage of confidential information, data spoofing, discrediting reputation, etc.).

The result of the investigation of information security incidents is the identification of the culprit of the incident and the reasons for his actions, the consequences of the incident for the organization and the development of a strategy to eliminate the consequences. Depending on the causes of the incident and the scale of the consequences, software, hardware and organizational measures are determined to prevent a similar incident in the future.
