Makarand Wagh | Investigation Intelligence Aetheris Room, Mumbai When a turbine prototype leaked before its patent, the breach wasn’t external, it was personal.

In just 72 hours, a groundbreaking turbine design vanished and surfaced in a rival's catalogue. For a leading advanced manufacturing firm, the stakes could not have been higher. Their five year innovation plan was compromised before they could even file a patent. Internal investigations came up empty. Standard cyber security checks failed to detect the breach. They needed real answers. They needed Aetheris. The Aetheris Digital Forensics Investigation team moved quickly. Using our proprietary Custody Extract technology, we reconstructed Slack metadata and hidden file transfers that normal audits had missed. But the game changer came with our Awareness Audit, an advanced internal data leakage investigation tool that mapped the stolen blueprint’s journey across servers and devices. It was not an outside attack. It was an inside betrayal. A trusted employee had turned into a digital mole.
With precise electronic evidence collection, forensic chain of custody documentation, and endpoint data recovery, we built an airtight case that exposed the culprit and protected the company’s right to justice. But we did not stop there. The incident triggered a full cyber resilience upgrade, including forensic cyber security protocols and Exit Embargo Seals (Notice Period Forensics Audit) to lock down future threats. The company did not just recover, they redefined their digital security posture.
Turning vulnerability into vigilance. Transforming betrayal into a blueprint for future strength. At Aetheris, we do not just investigate, we empower businesses to survive and thrive in a world of invisible threats.
