Incident Handling and Forensics is a cybersecurity discipline focused on detecting, investigating, containing, and recovering from security breaches, published by EC-Council as part of its core digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) certification framework. It provides a structured methodology for identifying intrusions, preserving evidence, and supporting legal prosecution, forming a critical component of the organization’s broader threat intelligence and cyber resilience strategy. The technology encompasses Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI), which covers forensic investigation across systems, networks, and digital media; Mobile Forensics, used to extract and analyze data from smartphones and tablets; Malware Analysis, for dissecting malicious software; Memory Forensics, to inspect volatile system memory; and specialized modules in Cloud Forensics, IoT Forensics, and Dark Web Forensics that extend investigative capabilities into modern attack surfaces. This technology is for cybersecurity analysts, digital forensics investigators, incident responders, and law enforcement personnel who must identify breach origins, preserve admissible evidence, and support organizational recovery with technical precision and procedural integrity.
