A leading Indian IT solutions provider recently encountered a critical data breach that put confidential client information and proprietary technology at risk. Suspecting insider involvement, the company turned to ECS Infotech, a trusted provider of Digital Forensics Services in India, to conduct a thorough Cyber Forensic Investigation.
The Challenge
The breach involved unauthorized access to internal servers, deletion of sensitive files, and suspicious data transfers outside the organization. The client required urgent intervention to:
- Identify the perpetrator behind the breach
- Recover deleted data and analyze device activity
- Ensure digital evidence was collected legally and was court-admissible
Our Approach
ECS initiated a comprehensive investigation using its full suite of Cyber Forensics Services:
1. Computer Forensics Solutions
ECS’s experts performed disk imaging and data recovery on multiple workstations. Using advanced forensic tools, they recovered deleted emails, documents, and log files, helping reconstruct a timeline of suspicious activities that aligned with the breach.
2. Mobile Device Forensics
Investigators examined the suspect’s smartphones and tablets for evidence of unauthorized communication and data transfers. Secure extraction techniques revealed deleted chat messages and file-sharing activity that confirmed involvement in the breach.
3. Network Forensics Investigation
A detailed analysis of network traffic and firewall logs showed abnormal access patterns and the use of external USB drives. ECS’s Network Forensics Investigation helped identify the precise method used to exfiltrate company data.
The Outcome
The cyber forensic investigation led to the successful identification of the employee responsible for the data theft. The recovered digital evidence, including deleted files and logs of unauthorized access, provided irrefutable proof of the misconduct.
