Digital Forensics & Incident Response or: Cyber Syndicates, Rogue Insiders, and the Biotech Breakdown

You’re a biotech company operating in a space where cutting-edge drug research meets an unholy warzone of cybercriminals, corporate espionage, and nation-state hackers with unlimited funding. Pharmaceutical research, genetic engineering, proprietary drug formulations. This isn’t just data, it’s power. The kind of power that turns quiet scientists into prime targets, the kind of power that doesn’t just disrupt markets, it creates them. And the jackals know it.

Black-market cyber syndicates, government-backed operatives, and rogue insiders are already circling, sniffing for weaknesses. They aren’t wondering if they can break in. They’re wondering how much they can take before you even notice.

The stakes? Intellectual property (IP) worth millions, clinical trial data that could make or break a drug’s future, and compliance obligations under FDA, GDPR, and HIPAA that could strangle the company in red tape if things go sideways.

Enter the need for a Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) team. A high-speed, high-lethality cyber unit built to go straight into the wreckage, take control, shut down the breach, and leave your enemies wondering what just happened. In biotech, the price of ignorance isn’t just regulatory fines, it’s complete annihilation.

Full Armor Forensics isn’t a service, it’s a black-ops unit for your security crisis. When we show up, we isolate, invalidate, and investigate the threat before your firm becomes a cautionary tale. This is targeted cyber combat. Not passive security. Not defense.

It’s aggressive, relentless, surgical destruction of the threat inside your system.

1. Incident Investigation and Response: You’re Bleeding Out—Now What?
   • Use Case Example: 0233. Data starts moving out of your R&D servers. Slowly and quietly drug research that took half a decade to develop is leaking in real-time.
     By 0245, it’s too late. You’re staring at a void where your data used to be.
   • Full Armor Forensics Role:
     • Incident Triage and Containment: We make the network go dark. Systems are isolated. The attacker is locked out before they even realize someone is onto them.
     • Root Cause Analysis: Full Armor Forensics determine whether the breach originated from an external attack, insider threat, or system misconfiguration.
     • Legal and Regulatory Coordination: We ensure compliance with regulatory disclosure requirements (e.g., GDPR breach notification rules, FDA cybersecurity guidelines).
     • Real-Time Mitigation: Bad passwords? Wiped. Suspicious connections? Killed. Monitoring? Tripled. You’re not reacting, you’re retaliating.
2. Threat Hunting and Cyber Threat Intelligence and Attribution: Ghost Hunting on Expert Mode
   • Use Case Example: A biotech scientist, one of your best, gets hit with a phishing attack. An hour later, suspicious login attempts start flooding in from a foreign IP.
   • Full Armor Forensics Role:
     • Proactive Threat Hunting: We comb through the network and attack surface like a bloodhound, sniffing out hidden malware, compromised credentials, and lateral movement.
     • Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Integration: By tracking APT and ransomware groups targeting biotech firms we can cross-referencing attack patterns with known threat actor tactics.
     • Attribution Analysis: Is this random ransomware or a precision-targeted espionage operation? Full Armor Forensics connects the dots, pinpoints who’s behind the attack, and how they got in.
     • Customized Defense Strategies: We strengthen defenses with intelligence, behavioral analytics, and zero-trust policies. (And a dash of paranoia goes a long way.)
3. Digital Forensics and Evidence Collection: The Smoking Gun
   • Use Case Example: A researcher quits. Two weeks later, data infinitely similar to yours shows up in a foreign patent office. Coincidence?
     Suspicion hangs in the air like a bad hangover.
   • Full Armor Forensics Role:
     • Forensic Data Acquisition: Every file, log, access point, and data transfer is tracked, traced, and reconstructed.
     • Chain of Custody: We handle the evidence like it’s a live grenade. One misstep, and it’s inadmissible in court.
     • Deep Packet Inspection (DPI): Analyzing encrypted communications to uncover covert data leaks is our jam. We cut through the noise, uncovering exactly how data was siphoned out.
     • Cloud Forensics: We investigate unauthorized downloads or data sharing via cloud storage platforms.
4. Post-Incident Remediation, Reporting, and Recommendations: Burn the Infection, Rebuild the Body
   • Use Case Example: Your firm just barely survived a ransomware attack. Clinical trials were almost lost. Your CEO is on edge, investors are watching, and the next attack is already in the works.
   • Full Armor Forensics Role:
     • Comprehensive Incident Reports: What happened, how it happened, and what’s being done so it NEVER happens again.
     • Remediation Strategies: We recommend security control enhancements, such as network segmentation, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and privileged access management (PAM).
     • Regulatory Compliance Assurance: Align post-incident actions with industry regulations, ensuring proper documentation and disclosure. Dot the i’s, cross the t’s, and if the regulatory suits come knocking, you have every answer they need.
     • Security Awareness Training: Just because your researchers are brilliant doesn’t mean they won’t click some random shit they shouldn’t in a malicious email. We educate employees on social engineering risks, phishing attacks, and secure data handling practices.

1. Faster Incident Response – We reduce dwell time and minimize damage from cyber incidents.
2. Advanced Threat Detection – Identifying and mitigating cyber threats before they escalate is priority numero uno.
3. Regulatory Compliance Alignment – Adherence to FDA, GDPR, HIPAA, and IP protection laws keeps your name our of the fed’s mouths.
4. Legal-Ready Digital Forensics – Full Armor Forensics has your back with potential litigation or regulatory investigations with our properly collected and documented evidence. In case you want to clap back and ensure the threat actors catch a case.

• Reduction in mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR). Faster is better. Always.
• Number of incidents resolved without data loss or regulatory penalties. A clean record is a rare and beautiful thing.
• Increased accuracy in threat attribution and forensic analysis. Know your enemy.
• Post-incident security improvements leading to a reduced attack surface. Build a wall they can’t climb
