Making forensic observability the norm for network devices ↗ source

July 29, 2026 NCSC Guidance

Summary

This creates a shared challenge for both the vendors that build these products and the organisations that buy and operate them. When incidents occur, organisations need reliable ways to understand what happened and assess whether a device can still be trusted. It enables defenders to investigate compromise using supported capabilities built into the product, rather than relying on reverse engineering, or specialist vulnerability research – as is still We are seeing encouraging progress across industry, but there is still some way to go before forensic observability capabilities become standard. Both vendors and buyers have a role to play in making this happen. Forensic observability means giving defenders reliable ways to understand what a device is doing, what it has done and whether it can still be trusted after an incident.
