Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Abstract:
With the rapid global adoption of embedded and IoT devices, threat actors are increasingly targeting these technologies to launch sophisticated cyberattacks. The third installment of the “From Logs to Evidence” webinar series focuses on forensic workflows tailored to the unique challenges of investigating smart and embedded systems—environments where traditional forensic methods often fall short. Participants will learn how to identify, extract, and analyze logs from resource-constrained devices that typically feature limited storage, proprietary protocols, and nonstandard architectures. The session also highlights real-world examples and practical approaches to uncovering forensic evidence in embedded and IoT ecosystems, emphasizing ongoing developments and opportunities in securing the next generation of connected devices.
Key Takeaways:
- Threat landscape of embedded and IoT devices
- Challenges in embedded and IoT forensics
- Reimagining forensic workflows for embedded and IoT ecosystems
- Forensic acquisition and analysis techniques
- Case studies and opportunities for innovation
