Episode 6 - Digital Forensics & Data Breaches – What Happens After It Hits the Fan

When a breach hits, it’s not just about stopping the attack — it’s about understanding exactly what was accessed, how far it went, and who needs to be notified.In this episode of The Data Breach Playbook, we discuss the real role of digital forensics during an incident response. Jason Simmons (Mills Oakley - Cyber Law) and Andrew Brett (Infosure - Cyber Insurance Specialist) join Liam (EvolveCyber) to unpack what actually happens behind the scenes of an investigation—from legal privilege and insurer coordination to the emotional toll of notifying clients that their data has been compromised.We explore:🔹 Why “just changing passwords” isn’t enough🔹 How forensic evidence drives legal and regulatory decisions🔹 The cost tension between doing it right vs. doing it cheap🔹 What separates a professional notification from a PR disaster🔹 Why MSPs and brokers are crucial in the early hoursIf your breach response plan ends at “we’ll figure it out if it happens,” this conversation will change your mind.👨🏻‍💻 Host: Liam Benson – Cyber Strategist, Director, Evolve CyberLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/liambenson-evolvecloud/Company LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/evolvecyberauWebsite - https://www.evolvecyber.com.au👨🏻‍⚖️ Jason Simmons – Cyber Law Expert, Partner, Mills OakleyLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-symons-7b5a6a5a/Company LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/mills-oakley-lawyers/Website - https://www.millsoakley.com.au/👨🏻‍💼 Andrew Brett – Cyber Insurance Specialist, Director, InfoSureLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-brett-ccis-7b43b5175/Company LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/infosure-insuranceWebsite - https://infosure.com.au/
