Digital Forensic Investigation

As society increases reliance on computer systems and cloud computing, digital forensics becomes a crucial aspect of law enforcement agencies and businesses. Digital forensics is the most intricate step of the cybercrime investigation process, and often yields the strongest evidence in terms of prosecutable cases. Digital forensics is the scientific acquisition, analysis, and preservation of data contained in electronic media whose information can be used as evidence in a court of law.

The goal of the process is to preserve any evidence in its most original form while performing a structured investigation by collecting, identifying, and validating the digital information to reconstruct past events. All processes utilize sound forensic techniques to ensure the findings are admissible in court.
