Data forensics is a fascinating and ever-evolving field that delves into the intricate details of digital data. It involves uncovering information by identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing and presenting attributes found in two distinct types:
persistent data which resides on devices over long periods of time; and volatile or real-time evidence located within computer memory temporarily during operations. Uncover the secrets behind your technology today with Data Forensics.
Digital forensics investigations are typically complicated, multi-stage endeavors that often involve many suspects, devices, and locations. At every step of an investigation, it is vital
to observe strict protocols in collecting and preserving forensics data. Having the right
equipment that can accompany forensics professionals in the field, and reliably perform
acquisition and storage functions away from the lab, can be a major asset in these kinds of
investigations.
That’s where Ciphertex comes in. Our digital forensic system—the Ciphertex SecureNAS® Series—gives you all the tools you need to facilitate field investigations, no matter where they take place.
Forensic accounting, auditing, and investigative and examine the finances of an individual or business. Forensic accountants that look for evidence of crimes and commonly work for insurance companies, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies.
Forensic audit examines and evaluates a firm's or individual's financial records to derive evidence used in a court of law or legal proceeding. Most large accounting firms have a forensic auditing department. Forensic audits require accounting and auditing procedures and expert knowledge about the legal framework of such an audit.
The evidence collected should be adequate to prove the fraudster's identity (s) in court, reveal the fraud scheme's details, and document the financial loss suffered and the parties affected by the fraud.
As cybercrime emerged as a pressing concern. To tackle this problem comes data forensics: a way to recover and investigate digital evidence for use in court cases involving fraud, espionage, cyberstalking, and theft. Computer forensic evidence is held to the same standards as physical evidence during trials ensuring that any retrieved information must be authentic, admissible and obtained without bias or distortion.
Data forensics is a multi-stage process used to recover, protect and analyze digital evidence. To complete this exploration of information security terrain, there are various techniques used in investigations - from cross drive analysis linking multiple hard drives information to custom forensics for live system examination & recovery of deleted files.

Digital forensics is a critical aspect of modern law enforcement, providing an essential source for information in criminal cases. Using highly sophisticated technologies and processes, evidence can be extracted from digital devices securely - such as computers, laptops and even smartphones! Once gathered it's analyzed to provide key insights into any potential cybercrime or malicious activity – giving investigators the data they need to protect our societies against online threats.
When it comes to computer forensics, there are two principal types of data – persistent and volatile. The former resides on the hard drive or other storage mediums, remaining intact even after power is cut off whereas the latter only exists in memory which vanishes as soon as electricity ceases. Professionals specializing in operating systems, file structures, cloud computing technology and more handle these valuable datasets while retrieving crucial information from different OS' found within a given hard disk image. an interface so that files can be analyzed and information or data gathered in an electronic format is extremely easy to extract and store.
Cybercrime is on the rise, and its global impact has already reached extraordinary heights. According to a recent Economic Impact of Cybercrime report, it costs an estimated $600 billion worldwide – equivalent to nearly one percent of our global GDP.
ZFS tiered caching makes fetching reads more efficient. Frequently used data is accessible via RAM, while less frequently used data is stored on the device’s SSDs and HDDs, respectively.
Designed to protect itself, ZFS supports RAID-Z configuration and back-up to automatically detect silent data corruption and repair data faster than other file systems.
ZFS Copy-on-write (COW) technology instantly duplicates writes without impeding write speed.
