Michael Sayegh<br>Junior Consultant, Forensics

Mr. Sayegh came to digital forensics through one of the most rigorous academic paths in the field, and he brought that foundation directly into practice.

At iDS, he works across the full evidentiary lifecycle, supporting forensic evidence acquisition, mobile device imaging, legal hold preservation, and forensic lab operations. He conducts digital evidence acquisition and forensic imaging across macOS, iOS, and Android environments using FTK Imager, Cellebrite UFED, Cellebrite Physical Analyzer, Cellebrite Digital Collector, and Magnet AXIOM. His work spans active litigation and investigative matters, with a consistent focus on forensic defensibility: chain of custody documentation, hash verification, and evidence integrity at every stage. He has also developed PowerShell automation to streamline forensic lab audit workflows, and his work extends into malware analysis and behavioral examination using REMnux, PEStudio, Procmon, and related tools.

Mr. Sayegh holds a Master of Science in Digital Forensics and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Cybersecurity from George Mason University, where he graduated with Dean’s List and Presidential Scholar honors. He completed additional academic study in Digital Warfare and Digital Forensics Ethics at the University of Oxford.
