IT Forensics in Nuremberg: facts instead of assumptions

After a security incident, digital traces survive only briefly. Any further use of the systems can change the evidence, for example because logs overwrite themselves continuously. Once that happens, no reliable statement remains possible. That is why, for IT Forensics in Nuremberg, you expect quick action in order to clarify the cause in good time and in a reliable way.

Drawing on many years of experience, aramido works in a planned manner and focuses on the systems that lead us to the cause. We often work remotely, because data centres are located in many places around the world. When needed, however, we are also quickly on site in Nuremberg or the metropolitan region, whether in an office, a production facility or a logistics centre.

Structured analysis after an incident in Nuremberg

What is IT Forensics?

IT Forensics in Nuremberg clarifies, after a security incident, what happened and how it came about. To do so, we follow the digital traces left on servers, in networks and in the cloud. This creates a reliable basis for the next steps: a report to the authorities, the compensation through your cyber insurance or the continuation of critical business processes. For companies from Nuremberg and the region whose operations depend heavily on IT, this evidence is decisive.

Reliable means: the results must withstand scrutiny. That is why we document every acquisition and work with a chain of custody (Chain of Custody). Since all analysis steps remain traceable, the results are usable before courts, for insurers and for operational decisions. In Nuremberg, aramido takes on this task as your partner for IT Forensics.

  • 1
    First we determine which data sources are relevant to the case and define the acquisition order in accordance with the order of volatility.
  • 2
    We create copies of the storage media without altering the originals and verify them with checksums.
  • 3
    We evaluate the secured data and put the traces into a chronological order. In this way we reconstruct the course of events.
  • 4
    Finally, a traceable expert report is produced, with an understandable summary for decision-makers, legal advisers and insurers.

IT Forensics for the economic and research region of Nuremberg

The Nuremberg metropolitan region combines research, medical technology and the software industry. Around the Medical Valley EMN and the Fraunhofer IIS, companies with highly valuable data have settled, and Nuremberg Clinic processes many sensitive patient records every day as the largest municipal hospital in Bavaria. Those who experience a cyber incident here carry a responsibility that goes beyond their own organisation: for patient data, medical research data and confidential development documents. That is exactly why aramido is here in the region: we secure the affected traces before they are lost and clarify the cause.

In and around Nuremberg, industrial companies such as Bosch and Schaeffler as well as the automotive suppliers control critical processes, while software companies such as DATEV process particularly sensitive financial and tax data. If a service fails or data is exfiltrated, the company notices it immediately. When operations resume, it is crucial to clarify exactly what happened and which data is affected. That is precisely where aramido supports you with IT Forensics in Nuremberg, preferably remotely and on site when needed. If you first need immediate help, you will find it on our page on IT emergency response and incident response in Nuremberg.

Forensic disciplines for incidents in Nuremberg and the region

Which methods we use depends on the threat situation. Digital traces come from persistent data, volatile artifacts and complex network flows.

For the analysis across all levels, we use specialized procedures. In Nuremberg, aramido looks exactly where the decisive clues lie.

Memory Forensics

Memory Forensics

We secure volatile data from working memory, reconstruct processes and thereby uncover active attacks.

Disk Forensics

Disk Forensics

Storage media and forensic images show which data and traces of use can be reconstructed.

Network Forensics

Network Forensics

By analyzing network traffic, we prove communication between compromised endpoints and data exfiltration.

Host Forensics

Host Forensics

System and file artifacts reveal which user activities took place and how the attack unfolded.

Malware Forensics

Malware Forensics

When examining malicious software, we recognize attack patterns and prevent reinfection.

Cloud Forensics

Cloud Forensics

In cloud environments, we clarify incidents of a tenant across multiple regions.

Frequently asked questions about IT Forensics in Nuremberg

If the cause of a security incident remains unclear, it can occur again. It is therefore important to determine the cause. In addition, there are statutory reporting obligations to supervisory authorities, for example in the context of GDPR or NIS-2. Cyber-risk insurers also require proper processing before they pay out. Damages from data breaches at German companies regularly add up to millions. The documentation of the forensics makes the damage, the cause and the extent comprehensible.
Data recovery restores lost files so that they can be used again. IT Forensics goes further: it delivers the evidentiary value and explains the cause of a particular situation. This includes, for example, patient zero, the point where a hacker group first intruded.
The chain of custody (Chain of Custody) documents completely where an item of evidence is located. It records who accessed the original media and when, and how copies were created. Only in this way does the securing of evidence remain admissible in court and the case traceable.
A backup records the state of the data, not the state of the system at the moment of the attack. Open network connections and the contents of working memory are not included. Moreover, attackers can nowadays encrypt or compromise the backup itself.
This can often be proven. If there is a suspicion of internal data access, we examine which systems were used and which data was read, copied or forwarded and when. The necessary clues come from system logs, access rights, file metadata and network communication. If necessary, we also reconstruct fragments of deleted files or chat histories. The report is factual and evidence-based, without speculation. It serves an internal review, an insurance claim or a report to the authorities.
In the Nuremberg region, the patient data of the clinic and the intellectual property of medical technology and industrial companies are particularly at risk. If economic espionage is suspected, we examine which systems were reached from outside and which data was exfiltrated. We secure the traces before they are lost and document the findings so that they are usable for a report or an insurance claim.
Usually not. In live forensics, we secure volatile data while the systems are running. In post-mortem forensics, we analyze forensic copies in a controlled environment.
Usually we assess the situation within the first few hours, in Nuremberg on site if desired. How long the detailed analysis takes depends on the volume of data and the complexity of the case: it can take from a few days up to several weeks.
The price depends on the incident, the number of affected systems and the required analysis effort. In an initial conversation we identify the essential requirements and provide you with a transparent cost estimate.
Yes. We secure evidence in accordance with ISO/IEC 27037 and maintain an unbroken chain of custody. Courts, public prosecutors, lawyers and insurers can use the expert report. This standard is especially relevant in Bavaria: the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office centralizes investigations of serious cybercrime and evaluates digital traces in a way that is admissible in court. A report that is meant to withstand such scrutiny must be created cleanly and in a traceable manner from the outset.
In addition to the city of Nuremberg, we support companies from the entire metropolitan region, including Fürth, Erlangen, Schwabach, Lauf an der Pegnitz, Hersbruck, Altdorf, Roth, Zirndorf and Stein. Depending on the case, remotely and on site when needed. For the neighbouring regions you will find our pages for Stuttgart and for Munich.
