Investigations managed from our central office.
The Challenge:
The attackers utilized advanced obfuscation techniques targeting systems. Initial incident response required swift coordination with local IT teams.
Our Approach:
Deployed a rapid-response team for on-site analysis. Conducted comprehensive network traffic analysis, cross-correlated server logs, and performed memory forensics on critical servers. Recovered deleted log fragments and identified malware variants targeting regional financial institutions.
The Outcome:
Pinpointed the initial intrusion vector (a compromised vendor account), identified the specific data accessed, and provided a consolidated, actionable report. This enabled the client to notify affected parties, remediate vulnerabilities, and report to the relevant Data Protection authorities. Minimal actual data exfiltration was confirmed beyond initial reconnaissance.
The Challenge:
Only high-quality scanned copies of the contract were initially available; the original document was held by an international consortium, requiring coordination to access for examination at our lab.
Our Approach:
Performed meticulous comparative analysis in our lab of the questioned signature against numerous known, genuine signatures. Utilized advanced microscopy and non-destructive ink and paper analysis once the original document was secured. Assessed nuanced handwriting characteristics common in the region.
The Outcome:
Provided a comprehensive, court-admissible report concluding with a high degree of scientific certainty that the questioned signature exhibited compelling indicators of simulation. Our findings were pivotal in facilitating a mediated resolution.
The Challenge:
The print was aged, on brittle paper, and partially obscured. Traditional chemical development techniques posed a risk to the irreplaceable historical document.
Our Approach:
Employed specialized non-invasive, multi-spectral imaging techniques and advanced digital enhancement algorithms at our lab to visualize and capture the latent print without altering the document. The enhanced print was then compared against available archival fingerprint records.
The Outcome:
Successfully enhanced and identified the latent fingerprint, linking a key historical figure to the document at the time of its alleged execution. This provided critical contextual evidence that significantly influenced the legal proceedings concerning the property's chain of title.
