Forensics / DFIR / IR
Train your forensics analysts in digital investigation
After an incident, every minute counts. Your forensics analysts need to extract and interpret artefacts fast: Windows registry, network logs, memory dumps, timestamps. CyberAct gives them training environments with real attack traces to analyse. Training your forensics analysts in digital investigation on realistic disk and memory images, not simplified excerpts, is what actually prepares them for a real case.
The challenges of your role
Forensics practice without a real incident is nearly impossible to organise
Forensics tools (Autopsy, Volatility, Wireshark) are learned over time
Reconstructing an attack timeline from multiple traces is a rare skill
Forensics certifications (GCFE, GCFA, CHFI) require dozens of hours of labs
Malware analysis is a specialised field that is difficult to train in-house
How CyberAct meets your needs
Post-incident analysis labs
Disks, memory and logs from a compromised system to analyse. Find the attacker, reconstruct the timeline, identify the impact.
Malware analysis
Analyse malware samples (ransomware, RAT, stealers) in secure sandbox environments with industry-standard tools.
Network forensics
PCAP captures, firewall and SIEM logs to analyse to trace a network attack.
GCFA / GCFE / CHFI preparation
Pathways aligned with the most recognised forensics certifications. Practical exercises and validation quizzes.

Frequently asked questions
What types of forensic investigations does CyberAct offer?
Labs cover disk, memory, network log and malware analysis, on scenarios reconstructing a full incident from real artefacts, from the first clue through to the attack timeline.
Are specific tools needed to follow the forensics labs?
Environments provide the necessary tools (memory analysis, artefact extraction, timeline) directly inside the lab, with no prior installation, so the analyst can focus on investigation methodology.
Do these labs prepare for GCFA or GCFE certifications?
Yes, incident reconstruction and artefact analysis scenarios are designed in a spirit close to the GCFA and GCFE practical exams, where the analyst must justify every conclusion with technical evidence.
Can we train on advanced malware analysis?
Yes, some scenarios include static and behavioral malware analysis in an isolated, secure environment, to understand how a threat works without risk to your infrastructure.
How do these forensics skills connect with the SOC?
Forensics skills directly complement SOC work: an analyst able to reconstruct an incident in detail speeds up response and remediation during a real intrusion.
Do scenarios reproduce realistic incidents or overly theoretical cases?
Scenarios are grounded in real attack patterns (ransomware, lateral movement, exfiltration), with artefacts that are consistent with each other, so the investigation feels like a real case rather than an isolated exercise.
