Digital forensics is the process of identifying, preserving, analyzing, and presenting electronic data for investigative purposes.

It's often related to addressing cybercrime and is crucial in tracing the origin of breaches, recovering lost data, and security hardening.

Emery Tines-Tepa is the founder and CEO of Binelais, which is a cybersecurity company specializing in digital forensics and incident response solutions.

He joins the podcast with Gregor Van to talk about his path into engineering, his time in the infantry, Benelize, digital forensics, and more.

Gregor Vand is a security focused technologist and is the founder and CTO of MailPass.

Previously, Gregor was a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance, and general software engineering companies.

He has been based in Asia Pacific for almost a decade and can be found via his profile at vand.hk.

Hi, Emery. Welcome to Software Engineering Daily. Hi, Grigger. It's a pleasure being here. Thank you for

an mutation. Yeah, great to have you here, Emory. Yeah, we've, as we might get into, we've met once before

back when I was at a company Black Panda. And as we might hear, that's now a customer of Binalize,

which is what we're here to talk about today.

So normally I kick off these episodes with a background of yourself.

I'm actually going to just add in one pre-question just to help, I think, our listener base because we're going to be talking a lot about digital forensics today.

And I think just to make sure there's no misunderstanding around what we're talking about,

actually could we just define digital forensics and then we'll jump into your background.

Sure. So digital forensics is actually a pretty old profession. It's an industry on its own.

These days, it's, I see that it's kind of seen as just a feature when it comes to endpoint

security, but it's actually, it's an industry on its own. And it's even longer than the endpoint

security industry. So it's basically the art of collecting evidence, preserving it, and analyzing

it. And the way we define digital forensics in traditional aspect is this, collecting it,

preserving it, analyzing it, and then they're like presenting it to the court for solving an investigation.

But what we do is a modern way of doing this of forensics, which will be digging deeper into.
