Speaker: Professor Taciana Eugênia Duarte
Date: June 07, 2025
The lecture “The Role of Computer Forensics in Handling Cyber Incidents”, given by Professor Taciana Eugênia Duarte, is part of the International Cybersecurity Workshop: Digital Frontiers and highlights an area that is essential for the investigation, mitigation, and prevention of cyberattacks.
A computer forensics It consists of applying specialized techniques and tools to collect, preserve, analyze, and present digital evidence, allowing for an understanding of the origin, extent, and impact of a cyber incident. This discipline acts as a fundamental link between information security, incident response, and legal and regulatory requirements.
In her lecture, Professor Taciana Eugênia Duarte addressed topics such as:
- The stages of the computer forensics process, from identification to presentation of results.
- The use of advanced tools for analyzing compromised systems and recovering data.
- The importance of the chain of custody and the integrity of evidence in judicial or administrative contexts.
Furthermore, the following were discussed: main trends in the area...such as the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to accelerate investigations, the role of multidisciplinary teams in incident response, and the need for constant updating in the face of new threats.
This lecture aims to broaden the understanding of how computer forensics fits into cybersecurity strategies, empowering professionals and researchers to address the challenges and responsibilities of this crucial field for digital protection and justice.
