Cado Response
Forensics at the speed of cloud
About Cado Response
Cado Response, now integrated into Darktrace's ActiveAI Security Platform as Darktrace / Forensic Acquisition & Investigation, is a cloud-native forensics and incident response solution. It automatically captures digital forensic data across cloud environments, including memory, process lists, and disk evidence, at scale. The platform enables security teams to investigate security incidents in multi-cloud and hybrid environments with speed, providing full attack timelines enriched with context. By automating data collection and processing, Cado reduces the time to triage and respond to threats from days to minutes, addressing the challenge of ephemeral cloud assets that may disappear quickly. Its use cases include SOC triage, cross-cloud investigations, container and Kubernetes investigations, SaaS investigations, and cloud detection and response. With parallel processing and API integration, it fits into existing workflows, ensuring evidence preservation and comprehensive analysis. Darktrace's acquisition of Cado Security strengthens its cloud security offering, delivering automated, deep disk-level evidence capture and forensic analysis for faster alert triage and incident response.
Challenges It Solves
- Multi-cloud investigations are manual and slow.
- Incident data disappears fast in ephemeral cloud environments.
- Analyst time is wasted combing through logs manually.
- Difficulty achieving root cause analysis quickly.
