Principal - Forensic Services at Charles River Associates
Richmond, Virginia, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorBrian Moran is a Principal in Forensic Services based in Richmond, Virginia with two decades of digital forensics and incident response experience spanning the U.S. Air Force and private sector. He cut his teeth doing mobile device analytics in combat deployments and pivoted into full-time DFIR after an impromptu assignment in Baghdad—an origin story he jokingly likens to a sci‑fi plot. Brian has led high‑stakes investigations for DoD and commercial clients, contributed open‑source tooling (including Live Response Collection), and presented at major DFIR conferences. He combines hands‑on technical depth—ranging from mobile forensics to large‑scale breach response—with mentorship and SOP development, and has even testified indirectly through cases that produced federal convictions. Quietly eclectic, he also offers color commentary for CTFs and community events, blending technical rigor with an engaging public presence.
