What is DFIR?
Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) is the practice of identifying, investigating, and responding to cybersecurity incidents. It combines forensic analysis with operational response to understand and contain threats.
DFIR involves collecting evidence, analyzing attack patterns, and supporting legal or compliance requirements following an incident.
What is DFIR used for?
DFIR is used to investigate breaches, identify root causes, and support recovery efforts. It plays a critical role in Incident Response (IR) and helps organizations learn from incidents to improve Security Posture.
Security teams use DFIR alongside tools such as SIEM and EDR to analyze Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and support threat containment.
