In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, incident response planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of cybersecurity. With the increasing frequency and severity of cybersecurity breaches, organizations are recognizing the importance of being well-prepared and responsive in the face of such threats. Let’s look at the critical role of incident response planning and how it can safeguard your business from rising cyber insurance premiums, reduced coverage, and other potential risks.

In today's rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape, swift and effective incident response is pivotal. Traditional incident response approaches, involving disparate tools and isolated processes, have proven inadequate to the task. That's where unified platforms come into play—a comprehensive approach to incident response that streamlines and centralizes the entire process.

In the field of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), acquiring a forensic copy of a suspect's storage device is a critical first step. This process involves either disk imaging or disk cloning, each with its own distinct purposes and methodologies. In this blog, we'll delve into the differences between disk imaging and disk cloning, when to use each method, and provide step-by-step guidance on how to create a forensic disk image using FTK Imager.
