Abstract: The current threat landscape is evolving constantly, giving rise to more sophisticated threats and attack vectors. Forensic investigations are not exempt from these influences. As cybercriminals further advance their efforts, the increased use of anti-forensic techniques has become evident. These tactics are designed to help attackers cover their tracks, hinder investigations, and evade detection. Furthermore, such tactics pose significant challenges to digital forensic investigators, who must develop strategies to detect and counter anti-forensics efforts to uncover critical evidence. This webinar aims to explore anti-forensics methods and provide strategies to overcome them. It will delve into both common and advanced anti-forensics techniques used by threat actors as well as the essential tools and methodologies required to navigate the evolving digital forensics landscape.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding anti-forensics techniques and types
- Impact of anti-forensics on forensic processes
- Tools and techniques for detecting, countering, and mitigating anti-forensics efforts
- Best practices for implementing anti-forensic capabilities for investigation
- Legal and ethical considerations in dealing with manipulated or obfuscated evidence
