What is Digital Forensics?

The process of preserving, gathering, analyzing, and presenting electronic data in a way that is acceptable in an investigation is known as digital forensics. It includes information from storage devices such as computers, mobile phones, smart appliances, automobile navigation systems, and electronic door locks. Digital forensics aims to collect, examine, and store evidence. It is used to:

  • Investigate Cyber Attacks: Digital forensics determines the methods and techniques used by an attacker to compromise a system and identify the attack’s origin.
  • Analyze Malware: It is used to analyze malware samples, understand how they work, and determine their origin and the intended target.
  • Evaluate Data Breaches: It is also used to evaluate the extent of a data breach, determine what data was stolen, and identify the methods the attacker uses to access the data.
  • Preserve Evidence: It is used to preserve evidence of a cyber attack or breach in a way that can be presented in court.

    • Digital forensics is essential for investigating and understanding cyber attacks and data breaches and helping organizations better protect their networks and systems against future threats.
