Evidence Preservation,
Root Cause & Containment

Every digital interaction leaves forensic artifacts in disk unallocated space, RAM slack memory, event logs, and registry hives. When adversaries delete logs, our forensic carvers reconstruct deleted records to reveal how they entered, what they accessed, and where they moved.
