In the not too distant past, criminal cases were solved mainly through the presentation of physical and tangible evidence such as blood stains, gloves, and knives. In today’s digital age, however, more and more criminals are being convicted because of electronic evidence ranging from images, videos, downloaded files and browsing history. This can be attributed to the continued growth in the field of computer forensic evidence.
What is Computer Forensic Analysis?
The three other branches of digital forensics are mobile phone forensics which involves the systematic retrieval and examination of data stored on mobile phone handsets and accessories such as memory cards and SIM cards; network forensics which tracks and analyses traffic on computer networks such as the Internet; and database forensics which pertains to the analysis of databases for incidents like security attacks.
Law Enforcement Agencies within the USA were one of the first users of computer based evidence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for one, taps IT experts to recover and analyse data in their investigations of crimes ranging from bank fraud, espionage, and hacking. It is known that the FBI treats computer data forensics as a standard tool or platform for crime investigation.
However, commercial organisations have also been utilising computer forensic experts in assisting them in investigating cases such as forgeries, fraud, employment disputes, industrial espionage, intellectual property theft, bankruptcy, inappropriate use of email and internet in the workplace, and for regulatory compliance.
