New York's CohnReznick, a billion-dollar company, has opened a new digital forensic lab outside Washington, D.C., to bolster its cybersecurity and incident response capabilities. Led by David Sun, the facility aims to help businesses respond to cyber incidents, protect digital evidence, and build resilience against future threats, highlighting the rise in cyber threats and CohnReznick's commitment to supporting client resilience in the face of cybersecurity threats.

New York-based CohnReznick, an IPA 100 firm with FY24 net revenue of $1.05 billion, has launched a cutting-edge digital forensic lab facility outside Washington, D.C. The lab is set to bolster the firm’s cybersecurity and incident response capabilities, offering advanced services that help businesses respond to cyber incidents, protect digital evidence, and build resilience against future threats.

A Comprehensive Approach to Cyber Incident Response

The new facility, led by CohnReznick’s advisory principal David Sun, who has 25 years of expertise in cybersecurity and digital forensics, will function as the nerve center for a suite of incident response solutions. The lab and its team provide organizations with critical support during cyber incidents, including:

- Gathering and preserving digital evidence from compromised devices and systems

- Building timelines and identifying attack methodologies

- Determining the root cause and nature of incidents

- Supporting regulatory compliance with breach notification mandates

- Assisting in the recovery of lost or compromised data

- Offering expert witness testimony if legal proceedings follow an incident

Sun highlighted the urgency of these services, noting the rise in cyber threats: “Just last month, Check Point Research reported that Q2 2024 saw a 30% year-over-year increase in cyber-attacks globally, reaching 1,636 attacks per organization per week. As these incidents become much more prominent, so can the damage they inflict.”

A Commitment to Cyber Resilience

CohnReznick’s digital forensic lab is part of a broader strategy to support client resilience in the face of cybersecurity threats. Bhavesh Vadhani, Global Leader of CohnReznick’s Cybersecurity, Technology Risk, and Privacy practice, emphasized the firm’s commitment: “Our goal is to help our clients develop a culture of resilience through their cybersecurity, data privacy, and incident response strategies and systems. Our digital forensics lab is part of a growing toolkit we have in helping clients build, run, protect, and transform their risk management programs.”

With this facility, CohnReznick continues to enhance its role as a leader in cybersecurity advisory, supporting clients in navigating the complex and evolving landscape of digital threats while safeguarding their operations, reputation, and data integrity.
