The Importance of Memory Forensics

The Importance of Memory Forensics

Modern cyber threats increasingly operate in memory to avoid detection and persistence mechanisms. Memory forensics provides unique insights:

Why Memory Forensics Matters:

  • Fileless Malware Detection: Identifies threats that never touch disk
  • Encryption Key Recovery: Extracts encryption keys from memory
  • Active Network Connections: Shows real-time communication channels
  • User Activity Reconstruction: Reveals running applications and open documents
  • Rootkit Detection: Uncovers hidden processes and drivers
  • Timeline Reconstruction: Provides precise activity sequences
