Computer Forensics

Introduction

Compute Forensic is the process of investigating electronic devices or media computer for the purposes of discovery and analysis available, delete, or "hidden" information that may serve as a useful guide in support of both claims and legal defenses to the issue, as well as it can be useful when the data was deleted accidentally or lost due to hardware failure. However, this is a method that is very old but now has changed a lot because of technological advances, modern tools and forensic medicine, which makes it much easier for the forensic computer to find and recover more evidence and data faster and more accurately. When working with digital evidence should be used four stages of the investigation and the accompanying procedures. These steps can be summarized as follows:

Assessment of the situation. The analysis framework of the ongoing investigation and action as necessary;

Data collection. The collection, protection and preservation of the original evidence;

Data analysis. Study and comparison of digital evidence of the events for a successful appeal to the law enforcement agencies;

Report of the investigation. Collection and organization of the information received the writing of the final report (Clarke, 2010).

Intergalactic Security and Relations Branch

Intergalactic Security is a forensic software company, have invested heavily in environmental hardening the perimeter of the networks of our customers to ensure we provide the best prevention and protection. Investment in routers, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention equipment and perimeter security measures, helps us to protect our customers against attacks. Intergalactic Security and Lab Relations Branch provides executives and researchers with the tools necessary to accelerate work on their cases. Basically, a research platform that enables the distribution of work, collaboration and analysis center housing and managing multiple tasks, which is reorganizing the entire research method. On the other hand, help in the distribution process, thus allowing organizations use additional hardware to increase processing speed significantly.

Potential security risks and vulnerabilities and associated tools and techniques

There are many risks if you practice computer forensics badly:

If you do not take into account then vital evidence could be destroyed.

New laws are designed to protect customer data, but if certain types of data are not properly protected then many liabilities can be attributed to the organization.

New rules can bring organizations whether criminal or civil organizations fail to protect your client. Some managers and staff spent much of their IT budget for the network and computer security.

Computer crimes are broad in the range such as child pornography, theft of personal data and destruction of data or computer.

The tools and techniques for dealing with risks are following:

Organizations have developed its security systems.

Organizations have developed safety devices for their networks, such as intrusion detection systems (IDS), proxies, firewalls, whose report on the state of network security of an organization.

Computer experts who investigate computers should know the type of evidence they want to do their research efficiently.

Two computer experts or investigators must use the ...
