The discipline of identifying, preserving, and evaluating evidence found in a wide assortment of places, is the focus of forensic examinations. Almost every interaction in life – from driving a car or using a mobile telephone, leaves behind traces. Whether DNA, skin cells, cell site analysis, or data fragments on a computer – these ‘footprints’ can be reconstructed by an experienced expert to determine who did what, where, when and how.
Evidence can be fragile and easily contaminated and so forensic examinations should be conducted swiftly, ideally as close to the time of the incident as possible. In pathology this typically takes the form of a post-mortem examination, but in both the digital and physical world, such forensic examinations may be ‘peri-mortem’ (proximmmal to the event).
reduce cost and complexity with sreamlined forensic examinations
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.
