The “Guide to Integrating Forensic Techniques into Incident Response” is a practical publication designed to aid organizations in handling computer security incidents and troubleshooting IT operational issues. It focuses on computer and network forensics from an IT perspective, rather than a law enforcement angle. This guide outlines effective forensic processes and offers insights into various data sources such as files, operating systems, network traffic, and applications. It is not meant to be a comprehensive step-by-step manual for conducting digital forensic investigations, nor does it provide legal advice. Instead, it informs on the technologies available and suggests potential uses for them in incident response or troubleshooting scenarios. Organizations are encouraged to consult with management and legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations before implementing the practices recommended in this guide.
