How Digital Forensic will save you from cyber attack? Know here in detail

Are you aware of digital forensic? It is a process that describes the scientific side of investigation that collects the computer artifacts, data points and information around a cyber attack.

Digital Forensics Specialists are generally consulted to investigate cyber-crimes, crimes that involve a security breach in a system or network. When a cyber-crime occurs, digital forensics specialists can assist in various ways. Their services range from securing confidential information that has been accessed by hackers to reconstructing data from computers or networks believed to have been involved in committing a crime and/or breach of contract or breach of fiduciary duty in civil matters.

A professional digital forensic examiner’s job is to provide information such as- 

• Identify an entry point used by the attacker into the network. 
• Finds out what user accounts were used by the attacker
• Identify the duration of unauthorized access on the network 
• Attempt to geolocate the logins and map them on a world map

The digital forensics specialists are mainly investigating cyber crime. When this type of crime arrives the specialists assist in various ways. It can be useful to corporations as well as law firms. Suppose if you have a company,  has reason to believe that an employee is distributing trade secrets or storing illegal material, they might employ a forensic investigator to help build a case against that employee. While the employee might erase their local data, he or she is unlikely to have access to the office servers. Consequently, winning the case becomes a matter of knowing where to look. We will create a digital image of the office server and use data fragments to reconstruct what happened.

If you believe a digital device contains evidence useful to your case, it is best to obtain that evidence through a licensed investigator who is highly qualified in digital forensics. If you hire a licensed investigator, it means that the information collected is legally defensible and uncorrupted. At First Legal, we have various licensed investigators, most with law enforcement backgrounds specific to digital forensics. All these investigators have great qualifications and extensive experience on the stand. This is important because your investigator will be called to testify about what they did, their justification for doing it, and the methods they used. A great forensic investigator not only delivers the evidence, but knows how to manage their vocal inflection. They also know when to look at the judge and when to look at the jury. Small details like this can profoundly impact your case, making it crucial that you partner with investigators who know how to testify.
