A Drone Forensic Playbook for Critical Infrastructure

Detection systems are doing their job. Alerts trigger, incidents are logged and drones are recovered. Yet that’s where most security workflows stop.

Once an aircraft is recovered, extracting data, establishing intent and producing defensible evidence requires a capability that detection alone cannot provide. Without it, investigations stall and critical questions go unanswered, leaving security teams exposed to regulators, insurers and executive leadership.

CFID addresses that gap.

Join Cellebrite forensic specialists for a 45-minute working session on what a recovered drone contains, how to extract data while preserving chain of custody and what “good” looks like during the first hour of incident response.

Why You Should Attend

Drone incursions across critical infrastructure are rising. U.S. power generation sites reported more than 13,000 drone incursions in 2024, and 57% of security leaders say they cannot identify the root cause of incidents.

Regulatory pressure is catching up to the threat. The FAA’s proposed UAFR rule covering fixed-site critical infrastructure closed its public comment period Aug. 5, 2026, signaling a shift toward greater federal accountability for how security operators respond to incursions.

Detection systems can tell you a drone was present. They cannot tell you who sent it, where it launched from or what was being surveilled. Those are the questions boards, insurers and regulators are increasingly asking.

This session walks critical infrastructure security leaders through what a recovered drone actually contains and what a defensible response looks like.
