Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is the process of collecting, analyzing and extracting evidence from electronic devices. Immersed in a technological world, the spectrum of devices that can be investigated is extensive, including computers, cell phones, networks, PDAs and even automobiles. The examination of these types of devices is a crucial component of government, legal and business investigations. Through digital forensics, specialists have the ability to uncover a document’s entire history, including changes made, access dates and hacking activities.
