Computer forensics

Computers and other digital devices provide a rich audit trail of their owners' actions and movements over a given period of time. In terms of criminal investigations and civil litigation, they can provide or substantiate the evidence to convict or eliminate suspects. Computer forensics is the science that reveals this evidence.

Computer forensic evidence often plays a key role in serious crime investigations, helping to track and analyse criminal behaviour through data stored on privately owned computers and mobile devices. There is, however, a growing trend of computer misuse in the workplace, and more public and private sector organisations now look to the experts to uncover this evidence discreetly and without disrupting business continuity.
