What should our IT team do immediately upon suspecting a ransomware outbreak?

Do not reboot or power off machines, as volatile RAM contains critical cryptographic artifacts. Disconnect network cables immediately to sever lateral spread and contact a DFIR team to image memory.

Will your forensic reports be accepted by cyber insurance companies?

Yes. EverTech conducts forensic investigations according to ISO/IEC 27037 standards. Our Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and timeline reports meet the strict evidentiary standards of cyber insurers.

Can you investigate Business Email Compromise (BEC) and unauthorized wire transfers?

Yes. We perform specialized cloud forensic triage on Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to detect unauthorized logins, session hijacking, hidden forwarding rules, and modified invoices.

Do you offer pre-breach DFIR retainer agreements in Dubai?

Yes. EverTech offers Incident Response Retainers (IRR) with guaranteed SLA response times under 15 minutes remotely and under 2 hours on-site in Dubai, with pre-negotiated rates.

Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) Dubai

Emergency Cyber Incident Response & Digital Forensics in Dubai, UAE

EverTech provides 24/7 Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) services across Dubai and the UAE. Our certified forensic examiners and incident commanders specialize in rapid ransomware containment, advanced memory and disk forensics, cloud breach investigations (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS), court-admissible chain of custody preservation, and post-breach regulatory disclosure reporting.

When a cybersecurity incident strikes, the first few hours determine whether your organization suffers a temporary operational disruption or catastrophic financial and legal ruin. From ransomware encrypting active databases to sophisticated Business Email Compromise (BEC) redirecting supplier wire transfers, EverTech’s seasoned DFIR responders immediately stabilize the environment, sever adversary control, identify the patient-zero ingress vector, and preserve forensic artifacts to support insurance and legal proceedings.

Our Core DFIR Capabilities

Ransomware & Malware Containment

Immediate triage to halt lateral movement and active encryption routines. We deploy kernel-level containment agents, identify malicious processes in volatile RAM, isolate infected network segments, and assist in secure recovery from uncompromised backups.

Endpoint & Memory Forensics

Bit-stream forensic acquisition of RAM, hard drives, and hypervisors. Analysis of Master File Tables (MFT), Windows Event Logs, Prefetch, Shellbags, and shimcache to construct an exact, minute-by-minute timeline of attacker dwell time and privilege escalation.

Cloud Breach & BEC Investigation

In-depth auditing of Microsoft 365 Unified Audit Logs (UAL), Entra ID session tokens, and Google Workspace admin consoles. We trace unauthorized mailbox delegating, illicit inbox forwarding rules, MFA fatigue exploits, and intercepted wire payments.

Chain of Custody & Legal Reporting

Handling digital evidence in strict adherence to ISO/IEC 27037 standards. We produce comprehensive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and forensic attestation documentation accepted by cyber insurance underwriters, UAE law enforcement, and regulatory bodies.

Our 6-Phase Incident Response Lifecycle (NIST SP 800-61 / SANS)

We execute battle-tested forensic methodology to systematically eliminate threats without destroying evidence:

Lifecycle Phase	Key Operational Actions	Deliverables & Outcomes
1. Identification	Triage alerts, confirm breach scope, identify compromised accounts and endpoints	Threat scope assessment & containment plan
2. Containment	Network isolation, credential revocation, C2 firewall blocks, memory capture	Bleeding stopped; lateral movement blocked
3. Forensic Acquisition	Bit-by-bit disk imaging, RAM capture, cloud audit log export under chain of custody	Cryptographically hashed forensic evidence (SHA-256)
4. Eradication	Eliminating backdoors, persistence mechanisms, scheduled tasks, and unauthorized accounts	Environment sanitized of threat actor presence
5. Recovery	Restoring verified systems from clean backups, hardening access controls, MFA reset	Safe resumption of normal business operations
6. Lessons Learned	Executive Root Cause Analysis (RCA), gap analysis, regulatory notifications	Comprehensive technical & executive forensic report

Emergency Response Service Level Agreement (SLA)

When an active breach occurs, speed is critical. Our Dubai incident response unit guarantees rapid mobilization:

Severity Tier	Typical Incident Scenario	Remote Triage SLA	On-Site Dispatch (UAE)
Critical (Tier 1)	Active ransomware encryption, domain controller compromise	< 15 Minutes	< 2 Hours
High (Tier 2)	Executive BEC fraud, confirmed data exfiltration alert	< 30 Minutes	< 4 Hours
Medium (Tier 3)	Suspicious insider behavior, isolated malware without spread	< 2 Hours	Next Business Day

UAE Cybercrime Law & Breach Notification Compliance

Under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 on Combatting Rumors and Cybercrimes and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), organizations experiencing unauthorized access or personal data breaches must take prompt remediation steps and report incidents to relevant national authorities. EverTech works in concert with your legal counsel to produce the technical evidence and timeline needed for insurance claim submission and statutory notifications.

Frequently Asked Questions: Digital Forensics & DFIR in Dubai

Do NOT power off or restart affected machines, as volatile RAM contains critical cryptographic keys and process artifacts. Instead, immediately disconnect network cables (or disable Wi-Fi) to sever lateral spread. Then contact an emergency DFIR team immediately to capture volatile memory before powering down or re-imaging.

Yes. EverTech conducts forensic investigations following globally accepted forensic methodologies (ISO/IEC 27037 and NIST SP 800-86). Our Root Cause Analysis (RCA), timeline analysis, and proof of non-exfiltration reports meet the rigorous evidentiary standards required by major international and UAE cyber insurance underwriters.

Yes. We perform specialized cloud forensic triage on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and email gateways to identify unauthorized logins, session token hijacking, hidden mail forwarding rules, and modified invoice attachments. We provide detailed transaction timelines to support corporate banking fraud recalls and police reports.

Yes. Our Incident Response Retainer (IRR) guarantees guaranteed SLA response times (remote triage within 15 minutes, on-site within 2 hours in Dubai) with pre-negotiated hourly rates. Retainers include annual compromise assessments and tabletop simulation exercises to test your team's readiness.
