Computer Forensics World
Introduction
As is often the case with security
compromises, it's not a matter of
if your company will be
compromises, but when.
Computer forensics is the preservation,
identification, extraction,
interpretation , and documentation of
computer evidence. Often digital
forensics is referred to as "the
scientific acquisition, analysis, and
preservation of data contained in
electronic media whose information can
be used as evidence in a court of law."
Cyber activity has become an important
part of the every day lives of the
general public. According to the
EC-Council, eighty-five percent of
businesses and government agencies have
detected a security breach. The
Examination of digital evidence has
provided a medium for forensic
investigators to focus on after an
incident has occurred. The ultimate goal
of a computer forensic investigator is
to determine the nature and events
concerning the crime and to locate the
perpetrator by following a structured
investigative procedure.
Computer Forensic Flaws and Risks
Computer forensics is in its
developmental stage. It differs from
other forensic sciences as digital
evidence is examined. There is a little
theoretical knowledge to base
assumptions for analysis and standard
empirical hypothesis testing when
carried out lacks proper training or
standardization of tools, and lastly it
is still more "art" than Science.
