Digital Forensics

Abstract

The World is now on the verge of moving to a fully digitalized ecosystem. The present digital system has evolved a lot over the period of time which eventually has led to more and more dependency of humans on machines. This dependency has naturally many pros but with pros come the cons. The entire data and privacy of an individual or an organization are on the reality of the machines. Every day malicious tools, methods, software, and techniques are developed and designed to create harm to public and personal networks and simultaneously exploit data hubs for valuable information. This change has developed in the emergence of security breaches, cybercrimes, internet frauds, and cyber espionage which has eventually resulted in the use of digital forensics in fighting cybercrimes which has been an important development in the world of cybersecurity. Digital Forensics is a division of Forensic Science majorly based on its five pillars which are identification, preservation, analysis, documentation, and the most important presentation. It has been traditionally associated with criminal law. It requires accurate ideology to stand up to cross-examination in court.
