Why Legacy Forensics Fail at Scale
In a major cyber incident, the default response to slow data processing is often "throw more hardware at it." This simulator demonstrates mathematically why that strategy fails against the GDPR 72-hour deadline.
Slide the tool to max capacity (128 Cores). You will see that even with a multi-million pound investment in legacy processing power, the physics of moving data across a network creates an insurmountable bottleneck.
The result? You miss the regulatory deadline by weeks, not hours.
"You don't have a hardware problem. You have an architecture problem. Legacy tools try to empty an ocean with a teaspoon. Lightning IQ is the drain."
