Digital Forensic Work within the Corporate Enterprise
Peter D. Bassill, CISSP, Gala Coral Group Limited
Following his excellent lecture to the Guildford Branch last year on Distributed Denial of Service Attacks, we have invited Peter Bassill to talk on another aspect of his role at Gala Coral Group. What does digital forensics work within the corporate enterprise involve, and why is it important? Where are forensic skills used in the enterprise? Where might one learn these skills, how one could one develop them, and what guidelines should we follow? In many ways, digital forensics work provides the fun and the enjoyment for the more technically minded Information Security Officer, and it is challenging work that can make a major contribution in a commercial organisation. From firewall log analysis during a digital attack, to piecing together how a confidential report was distributed, through to recovering a corrupted hard drive, the Information Security Officer's forensic skills are called upon time and time again.
