👉 Investigation computing, also known as digital forensics or cyber forensics, is a specialized field that focuses on the systematic and scientific collection, preservation, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence. It plays a crucial role in investigating cybercrimes, data breaches, and other digital incidents by examining electronic devices, networks, and systems to uncover traces of malicious activities or unauthorized access. Investigators use specialized tools and methodologies to recover deleted data, analyze file systems, and trace digital footprints, ultimately helping law enforcement agencies and organizations understand the scope and impact of cyber threats, and to build solid cases for prosecution or remediation. This process involves meticulous documentation and chain-of-custody procedures to ensure the integrity and admissibility of evidence in legal proceedings.
