This advanced module dives deep into the critical discipline of cross-source artifact correlation in Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). You will learn how to synthesize and link disparate data points from endpoint telemetry (EDR, MFT, Registry), network traffic (PCAP, NetFlow, firewall logs), and cloud audit trails to reconstruct complex, multi-stage attack chains. By mastering cross-source correlation, you will be equipped to pierce through attacker obfuscation, validate hypotheses with mathematical certainty, and build ironclad, legally defensible incident narratives.
