The Digital Forensics Analyst is responsible for collecting, preserving, analyzing, and documenting digital evidence associated with cybersecurity incidents, investigations, legal proceedings, and insider threat cases.
This position conducts forensic examinations of computers, servers, mobile devices, cloud environments, virtual systems, and storage media to determine what occurred during a security incident. The analyst reconstructs timelines, identifies attacker activity, recovers deleted artifacts, and supports root cause investigations.
The Digital Forensics Analyst maintains evidence integrity, follows chain-of-custody procedures, and produces detailed investigative reports suitable for executive, legal, regulatory, and law enforcement review.
The position frequently supports ransomware investigations, insider threat investigations, fraud investigations, intellectual property theft cases, and major breach investigations.

  2. Candidates must possess advanced knowledge of digital forensics principles, evidence preservation techniques, forensic acquisition methods, operating systems, file systems, memory analysis, and artifact analysis.
  3. The candidate should have experience using industry-standard forensic tools and conducting investigations across Windows, Linux, macOS, cloud platforms, and mobile devices. Strong documentation skills are essential due to the legal and evidentiary nature of forensic work.
  4. The position requires patience, precision, objectivity, and the ability to produce defensible findings based on evidence rather than assumptions.
  5. Typical certifications include GCFA, GCFE, EnCE, CHFI, CFCE, or equivalent forensic certifications.
