Forensic Challenges for Security Professionals – Justin Tolman – ESW #269
Security professionals face a variety of challenges on a daily basis. The cybersecurity talent shortage and the so-called Great Resignation can lead to gaps in security, an increase in insider threats and overworked employees, not to mention external threats like hacking and ransomware. Digital forensics can help alleviate these challenges with solutions that collect evidence properly, automate workflows, function in Zero Trust environments and detect and mitigate insider threats.
