Meanwhile, cybercriminal activities often compel law-enforcement agencies to investigate across international borders, which means dealing with different jurisdictions and legal systems. Also, computing and networking infrastructures are increasingly intricate, further complicating investigations and activities related to digital forensics. For instance, clues pointing to illegal digital activities are often buried in large volumes of data, making criminal activity that much more difficult to detect and document with suitable evidence. Thus, the field of digital forensics faces many diverse challenges and issues in the effort to streamline digital evidence processing and related forensic procedures. A paradigm shift is needed for law-enforcement agencies, and forensics professionals must be fully prepared to deal with different technologies, such as those related to the Internet of Things, cloud and fog computing, mobile devices, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies as well as smart buildings and even smart cities. To sum up: forensics experts, tools, and methodologies must all keep pace with new technologies.» weiterlesen» einklappen
