Digital forensics

Threats to cyber security posed by incidents

In recent years, preparing for cyber security threats requires customers to do more than implement security when "building in quality" in the planning, requirement definition, and design phases of product development. Customers are required to implement security measures to clarify accountability for product incidents such as leakage of confidential information, quality fraud, and the cause of accidents, and also enable the swift collection of digital evidence in response to allegations of fraudulent accounting, compliance violations, and other acts of corporate malfeasance.

Digital forensics that SOLIZE provides

SOLIZE uses digital forensics to issue a report for the incidents that have occurred in customers’ processes and systems.

Digital forensics is the collection and identification of evidence stored digitally. We preserve records that may be related to the incident in the design and development process or general corporate activities by making digital copies of the records in computers and connected storage devices (e.g., hard disks, external memory) as much as possible, and then perform detailed and precise analysis of the copies. We then identify evidence of the incident based on the facts alone and create a report that can be used in courts.
