Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, UNITEC New Zealand, language: English, abstract: Nowadays the use of computers is increasing more and more. This has allowed the development of the internet. In turn, the Internet has brought many benefits, but the internet has also contributed to the rise of cyber-crime. So, with the rise of cybercrime, it has become critical to increase and develop computer systems security. Each time, the techniques used by cybercriminals are more sophisticated, making it more difficult to protect corporate networks. Because of this, the computer security of these companies has been violated, and it is here at this point when digital analysis forensic is needed to discover cybercriminals. So, with the rise of cybercrime, digital forensics is increasingly gaining importance in the area of information technology. For this reason, when a crime is done, the crime information is stored digitally. Therefore, it must use appropriate mechanisms for the collection, preservation, protection, analysis and presentation of digital evidence stored in electronic devices. It is here that the need arises for digital forensics. In this report, I am going to explain what digital forensics is. Also, I will describe some forensic software and hardware and the importance of suitable forensic labs. So, let’s start.
