Network breach forensics involves investitating security incitents to identify how breaches occur and prevent future attacks. Analyzing real-empples helps organisations understand common distanvabilities and effective contramecures.

Example 1: Target Data Breach (2013)

Te Target breach implived hackers gaining access trompgh a third-party vendor, learing to tho the theft of access card information of millions of customers. Forensic analysis requialed the attacles s exploited weak cretentials and malware to infiltate the network.

Preventive measures include implementing strong vendor security protocols, multi- factor autention, and continuous network monitoring to detect considerous accessities early.

Examples 2: Equifax Data Breach (2017)

Te Equifax breach was caused by a diventability in a web application complework that was not patched impetly. Attachers exploited this flaw to accessive sensitive personal data of over 147 million people.

To prevent similar incients, organisations should d maintain regular patch management, direct sivability assessments, and implementment intrusion detection systems.
