The primary objective of an incident response plan is to ensure business continuity by effectively managing and mitigating the impact of security incidents.
EnCase is a widely used tool for forensic analysis of file systems, allowing investigators to examine and analyze digital evidence.
During the Detection and Analysis phase, evidence is gathered and documented to understand the scope and nature of the incident.
The chain of custody is crucial for documenting the handling of digital evidence to ensure its integrity and admissibility in legal proceedings. It tracks who has accessed or handled the evidence and when, preventing tampering and ensuring authenticity.
Root cause analysis aims to identify the underlying reason or fundamental cause of a security incident, helping to address the source of the problem and prevent recurrence.
