Digital forensics investigates security incidents after they occur — determining the attack vector, timeline, scope of compromise, data affected, and attacker identity. Forensic readiness — preparing before an incident — dramatically improves investigation effectiveness: ensuring adequate logging, preserving chain of custody, maintaining forensic tools and procedures, and training responders. Penetration testing and forensics are complementary: testing finds vulnerabilities before exploitation; forensics investigates when exploitation occurs despite defences.
