DFIR Agent
Your digital forensics and incident response specialist that investigates security incidents and preserves evidence.
What is DFIR Agent?
The DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) Agent is your automated forensics expert that investigates security incidents, collects evidence, reconstructs attack timelines, and identifies root causes. It provides the forensic analysis needed to understand breaches, contain threats, and prevent recurrence.
Problems It Solves
Slow Incident Response
Security incidents require immediate response, but forensic analysis takes hours or days. By the time you understand what happened, attackers have expanded their foothold.
Lost or Contaminated Evidence
Critical logs get overwritten, systems get rebooted, and evidence disappears before forensics can begin. Improper evidence collection makes investigation impossible.
Incomplete Attack Understanding
You know an incident occurred but can't determine the full scope: what data was accessed, how attackers got in, what persistence mechanisms they installed, or if they're still present.
No Forensic Expertise
Incident response requires specialized skills: log analysis, memory forensics, timeline reconstruction, and evidence preservation. Most teams lack dedicated forensic experts.
How DFIR Agent Works
Automated Evidence Collection
Immediately preserves critical evidence: system logs, memory dumps, network traffic, file system snapshots, and application stateābefore data is lost or contaminated.
Timeline Reconstruction
Correlates events across multiple sources (logs, network traffic, file access) to reconstruct complete attack timelines. Shows exactly what happened and when.
Root Cause Analysis
Traces attacks back to initial access vectors. Identifies how attackers got in, what vulnerabilities they exploited, and what lateral movement occurred.
Threat Intelligence Integration
Correlates incident indicators with threat intelligence feeds to identify attack patterns, attribution, and known threat actor TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures).
User Benefits
Faster Incident Response
Automated forensic analysis provides answers in minutes, not hours. Understand incidents quickly to contain threats faster.
Complete Attack Visibility
See the full attack lifecycle: initial access, lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and persistence mechanisms.
Evidence Preservation
Automatically collect and preserve forensic evidence in tamper-proof format. Maintain chain of custody for legal proceedings.
Root Cause Fixes
Identify and fix the vulnerabilities that led to compromise. Prevent the same attack from happening again.
Compliance Requirements
Meet breach notification requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) with complete incident documentation and forensic reports.
Learn from Incidents
Build institutional knowledge from incidents. Improve defenses based on real attack patterns observed in your environment.
Real-World Use Cases
Ransomware Attack Response
Reconstructed complete attack timeline from initial phishing email through encryption. Identified patient zero, lateral movement path, and data exfiltration before encryption.
Data Breach Investigation
Analyzed logs and memory dumps to determine exactly what customer data was accessed. Forensic evidence showed 10,000 records accessed vs. initial estimate of millions.
Insider Threat Detection
Identified unauthorized data access by correlating file access logs, API calls, and network traffic. Preserved evidence for legal action.
