SUZU Defensive Security Solutions
Digital Forensics
After suspicious activity, leadership needs facts that hold up. We preserve and analyze evidence to reconstruct attacker behavior, define impact, and produce findings usable for legal, insurance, and the board.
Answers You Can Stand Behind
An incident without a timeline is just a story. Reimaging laptops, rotating every password, and hoping the SIEM still has logs is how companies lose the only record of what actually happened, and then cannot answer insurers, counsel, or regulators.
Suzu Labs treats evidence as a first-class asset. We preserve volatile and persistent data, correlate host, identity, cloud, and network artifacts, and deliver a timeline with confidence notes. When counsel initiates the investigation, we work under privilege to protect work product from the start. Technical teams get the detail. Executives get a narrative they can use.
What We Investigate
Reconstructing the Attack, Not Guessing It
Forensics is disciplined collection plus correlation. We build a timeline from multiple sources so impact is confirmed, not assumed.
Evidence Preservation
Priority acquisition for endpoints, identity providers, cloud telemetry, and backups, with chain-of-custody practices built in from the first hour.
Timeline Reconstruction
Initial access, persistence, lateral movement, and data interaction mapped in sequence, with source artifacts attached to each claim.
Cloud & Identity Forensics
Entra ID, Microsoft 365, AWS CloudTrail, and SaaS audit logs require different acquisition and correlation techniques than endpoint forensics. We investigate cloud-native artifacts, OAuth grants, and identity-layer activity to reconstruct attacker behavior across your cloud environment.
Malware & Artifact Analysis
When an attacker leaves tools, persistence mechanisms, or modified binaries behind, we reverse-engineer them to determine capability, intent, and indicators of compromise that your detection team can use to hunt for related activity across the environment.
Defensible Reporting
Technical and executive tracks with documented methodology, evidence indexing, and chain-of-custody records so counsel, insurers, and operators are working from the same facts. Every finding ties to a source artifact, not a judgment call.
Readiness & Pre-Positioning
The best time to plan evidence collection is before you need it. We help you verify log retention, stage acquisition tools, and establish contacts so your first call during an incident is not also your first conversation.
Penetration Testing
Companies turn to pentesting when they need real answers, not assumptions.
Maybe a customer is asking for proof, a compliance requirement is coming up, or they simply want to know if they’re actually protected.
Suzu Labs safely tests your systems the way a real attacker would, so you can see where things could break before it becomes a real problem.
-
Meet requirements for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS with real, defensible testing, not just automated scans.
-
Show clients, vendors, and stakeholders that your security has been tested by real experts, not just assumed to be secure.
-
Turn one-time testing into ongoing validation so your security keeps up with new threats, not just audit cycles.
-
What We Test: Web-App, Mobile App, API, External Network, Internal Network, WIFI, Cloud, IoT, Physical.
Hardware Hacking
This usually comes up when something is on the line. A new device launch, customer trust, or protecting intellectual property.
We evaluate the security of your hardware and embedded systems to ensure they can’t be easily exploited, cloned, or manipulated in the real world.
-
When you’re shipping devices or relying on connected technology, unseen risks can lead to real consequences. From customer trust issues to expensive fixes. We help you catch those issues before they impact your business.
-
What We Hack: SCADA, IoT, OT, Vehicles, Embedded Systems.
Questions
Digital Forensics, Answered
Digital forensics is the collection and analysis of electronic evidence to determine what happened during a security event. Done correctly, it produces a timeline and impact assessment that can be used operationally and, when needed, legally.
Incident response stops the attack and restores service. Forensics answers who, what, when, and how far with evidence. Many engagements include both; mixing the jobs without a plan is how evidence disappears.
Yes, within the limits of log retention and whether systems were wiped. Early engagement is always better, but delayed investigations still produce useful conclusions when artifacts remain.
Yes. Documentation includes methodology, evidence references, and timeline logic suitable for counsel and insurers. We coordinate with your legal team on privilege and distribution.
In most cases yes. We prefer live, non-destructive acquisition and coordinate windows with operations when deeper collection is required.
Yes. We use existing telemetry instead of duplicating collection, and we will say plainly when that telemetry is not enough.
Our forensic practitioners hold industry-recognized certifications in digital forensics and incident response. Investigations are led by senior practitioners with experience in litigation support and casework experience, not passed to junior analysts.
Digital Forensics vs. Incident Response
| Digital Forensics | Incident Response | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Host, identity, cloud, and network artifacts collected and correlated into a defensible timeline. | Immediate containment, eradication, communications, and recovery of business operations. |
| Attack Surface | What the attacker touched: accounts, systems, data stores, and persistence mechanisms. | What the attacker can still use: live sessions, backdoors, and unrevoked access. |
| What's Being Tested | Whether you can prove impact, root cause, and sequence with evidence. | Whether you can stop the incident and return to a known-good state. |
| Common Findings | Unclear data exposure, missing logs, and actions that destroyed volatile evidence. | Partial containment, premature recovery, and no single incident commander. |
| Impact if Compromised | You cannot satisfy legal, insurance, or regulatory questions even after systems are up. | The attacker remains, downtime extends, and the same path is reused. |
| Ideal For | Leadership that needs facts that hold up, not a best-guess slide. | Teams in an active event who need containment and coordinated recovery now. |
