Computer Forensics

Almost every memo, spreadsheet and document is created on a computer. Whether it is a PC, Mac or Linux operating system, the computer forensics investigator must be able to identify, seize, collect and preserve electronic evidence.

Tracing the digital footprint starts upon the seizure of potential electronic evidence by an experienced analyst. As electronic media is very sensitive, assessments must be undertaken swiftly to avoid corruption or loss of crucial evidential material. Computer forensics is the discipline of identifying, extracting and preserving digital evidence found in a wide assortment of digital media – from computer hard disks to the memory contents of a mobile phone.

computer forensics forms the new fingerprints

From the 40GB home computer to the 2TB Raid 5 UNIX server, computer forensics must be conducted in a systematic and consistent manner. These techniques involve fragile data that can easily be hidden, wiped, disguised, cloaked, encrypted or even destroyed from storage media. This work can only be handled by experienced and qualified professionals; the results of the computer forensics analysis have to withstand the scrutiny of a courtroom.
