Digital Forensics for Cyber Security
From Disk Analysis to Cloud, AI and State-Sponsored Threats Investigation “Today reliability is the most precious currency we have”
What if the crime scene wasn’t a place, but a data stream? What if the murder weapon wasn’t an object, but a line of code?
We live in an era where evidence is no longer collected just with gloves and luminol, but extracted from smartphones, cloud servers, and volatile memory. In this scenario, Cyber Security, which builds defenses, and Digital Forensics, which reconstructs facts, are no longer separate disciplines but two inseparable aspects of modern justice and security.
Within these pages, you will discover how to investigate ransomware attacks, insider threats, and complex fraud. You will explore the new frontiers of forensics in cloud, IoT devices, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, learning to tackle anti-forensics techniques and state-sponsored attacks.
My recommendations:
- Take care of your digital reputation: even a single error in data management can destroy years of work.
- Build proactive security systems. Don’t wait for problems to manifest before reacting.
- Follow the regulations. GDPR, privacy, NIS2. Sometimes what appears to be mere bureaucracy has been designed to protect you and build trust.
- Value your data, treat it as strategic assets, not as something that’s just there.
- Train your people. Security is a cultural issue: it starts with every daily choice made by your team.
Does GDPR seem like a maze of incomprehensible rules and a pure cost for your company? Do you think privacy hinders innovation? This book will prove otherwise.
