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
