A Day in the Life of a Forensics Engineer
Fri Jan 30 2026
Forensic engineers are called in when things are already broken🪫— and the pressure is on. In this episode of Cybercrime from the Frontline, A Day in the Life of a Forensic Engineer, Bitdefender’s threat experts unpack what really happens once an organization realizes it’s been breached.
🔊 You’ll learn:
↪︎ What a forensic engineer does during post-breach investigations
↪︎The three pillars of forensics: incident response, state-sponsored attacks, and threat hunting
↪︎Why not all investigations succeed—and what easily derails the search for answers
↪︎How attackers are traced from “patient zero” through lateral movement
↪︎Why logging, evidence preservation, and human trust are critical under pressure
↪︎How forensics insights improve detection, response, and future defenses
Join host Dan Berte as he welcomes Bitdefender VP of Threat Research, Dragoș Gavriluț, Bitdefender Senior Manager, Detection and Response, Cristina Vătămanu, and Bitdefender Senior Security Researcher, Radu Tudorică.
