How to Benefit from Computer Digital Forensics Expert Service

1. How to Benefit from Computer Digital Forensics Expert Service? Computer forensics experts might be a new addition to criminal defense but the fact is that they can help prove innocence. And they do this in ways never before thought possible. These forensic experts are even called into determine when something did or did not occur. Without the expertise of these types of digital forensic examiners, people can be wrongfully blamed or convicted. Most defendants are usually amazed when the computer data they thought was lost or destroyed is suddenly brought up to be used in their successful defense. Computer forensics experts first protect the information on the drive or device from intentional or accidental harm (preservation is critical), and then assess the information, cracking passwords, encryption, and other security, if necessary. Finally, the forensics expert assesses the information and prepares it for presentation in either a private setting or a court of law - depending on whom they're working for. Criminal defense attorneys use this type of forensics more and more. Frequently, allegations of crimes revolve around digital data. In such instances, computer systems and mobile devices are taken as evidence. A cursory examination done the usual way will reveal only data that is obvious. The real data that counts, either as evidence for prosecution or defense, may have been deleted or encrypted. Accessing such data might not quite be so difficult for those with some computer savvy. However, without a digital forensics expert, those unprofessional methods employed to uncover such fragmented, lost,

The need for digital forensics expert becomes all the more important when one considers the fact that the only data that matters is in electronic form and that it may not be limited only to one computer system or a mobile device. Data may have been stored in the cloud, in other servers, devices or simply deleted. An expert computer forensics investigator has a tough task. He must look for data without knowing what it is. Along with some useful information he may uncover gigabytes of other information that has no relevance in the case. It is for the forensic expert to resurrect and reconstruct data and extract only the meaningful part, all done using forensic tools that do not tamper with or alter the original data in the system in any way. This calls for a licensed private forensics investigator, forensic tools and use of a well-equipped lab. Knowledge of extraction of meaningful data is, of course, a prime consideration but what is more important is that the digital forensic expert is licensed and has full knowledge of the

It is also not restricted to use of only one device to store data. Data that matters and can be used as evidence can be spread across various devices and may be in a preserved, easily accessible format or may be encrypted or deleted. It is for the expert to follow the trail, sometimes blindly, and use his expertise as well as experience to come up with valid evidence that withstands legal scrutiny.
