Forensic analysis of Windows Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) artefacts – tracing security events
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) stellt umfangreiche Sicherheitsfunktionen zur Erkennung und Analyse von Angriffen bereit. Je nach eingesetzter Konfiguration entstehen lokale Artefakte, Protokolle und Metadaten, die Rückschlüsse auf erkannte Bedrohungen, Sicherheitsereignisse und Systemaktivitäten zulassen können.
Im Rahmen einer professionellen IT-forensischen Untersuchung werden MDE-Artefakte niemals isoliert bewertet. Erst die Korrelation mit Windows-Ereignisprotokollen, Sysmon-Daten, Registry-Artefakten, Dateisystemspuren sowie weiteren digitalen Beweismitteln ermöglicht eine belastbare technische Bewertung.

Typical areas of application
This is how the analysis works
Once a forensic image has been created, any MDE artefacts are identified, analysed and technically assessed alongside other digital evidence.
Warum sind MDE-Artefakte wichtig?
They can provide valuable insights into detected security incidents, endpoint protection responses and chronological sequences. However, their significance only becomes apparent once all relevant artefacts have been analysed as a whole.
