FORENSICS DATA PROCESSING
Often times it is not sufficient to
simply copy files from a source and
assume your data set is complete. When
doubt arises regarding the entirety of a
data set, it is time to move to forensic
methods and recover what someone may be
trying to hide.
Computer Forensics entails the use of
tactical methods in uncovering facts
within computer-based information. Three
of the most useful aspects of computer
forensics include the recovery of
deleted files, restoration of data from
various media, and bypassing encrypted
or password-protected files.
79% of employees admit to sharing
confidential information with other
companies via email and 1 in 10
employees have received confidential
company information via email.
Computer forensics is done in a fashion
that adheres to the standards of
evidence that are admissible in a court
of law. Thus, computer forensics must be
techno-legal in nature rather than
purely technical or purely legal. Refer
to Searching and Seizing Computers and
Obtaining Electronic Evidence in
Criminal Investigations for the US
Department of Justice requirements for
Computer Forensics and electronic
evidence processing.
