The Case of the Tech Firm
- Andrew, a digital forensics investigator, was hired by a global technology firm to assess their network security.

APT Detection
- An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) was detected within the tech firm's network, posing a serious threat.
- APTs are highly skilled, motivated hackers often sponsored by nation-states, making them difficult to detect and remove.
