What is Digital Forensics?

Digital forensics is identifying, preserving, analyzing, and documenting digital evidence. It is a branch of forensic science that focuses on the recovery, analysis, and preservation of digital data from electronic devices, such as computers, smartphones, and servers. It involves the systematic examination of digital artifacts to uncover evidence related to cybercrimes, data breaches, and other digital incidents. Digital forensics experts use specialized techniques and tools to collect, preserve, and analyze electronic evidence, helping to support legal investigations and court proceedings. This evidence can be used in criminal or civil investigations or in internal investigations by organizations. The goal of digital forensics is to extract data from digital devices in a way that preserves its integrity and admissibility in court. This can be a complex and challenging task, as digital evidence is often volatile and can be easily altered or destroyed. Digital forensics professionals use various tools and techniques to recover and analyze digital evidence. These tools include hardware devices, software applications, and specialized knowledge of digital devices and data storage formats.
