As society increases reliance on computer systems and cloud computing, digital forensic becomes a crucial aspect of law enforcement agencies and businesses. Digital forensic is the most intricate step of the cybercrime investigation process, and often yields the strongest evidence in terms of prosecutable cases. Digital forensic is the scientific acquisition, analysis, and preservation of data contained in electronic media whose information can be used as evidence in a court of law.
The goal of the process is to preserve any evidence in its most original form while performing a structured investigation by collecting, identifying, and validating the digital information to reconstruct past events. All processes utilize sound forensic techniques to ensure the findings are admissible in court.

Computer Forensic Investigation
Computer forensic investigation and analysis is a techniques to gather and preserve evidence from a particular computing device in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law. The goal of computer forensic investigation is to perform a structured investigation and maintain a documented chain of evidence to find out exactly what happened on a computing device and who was responsible for it.
Why is computer forensic important?Computer forensic helps ensure the integrity of digital evidence presented in court cases. As computers and other data-collecting devices are used more frequently in every aspect of life, digital evidence and the forensic process used to collect, preserve and investigate it has become more important in solving crimes and other legal issues.
E-Mail Forensic
Emails play an important role in business communications.The negative side of emails is that criminals may leak important information about their company. Hence, the role of emails in digital forensic has been increased in recent years. E-Mails are one of the most crucial evidentiary factors in almost every case litigated nowadays. Many a times E-Mails are either intentionally erased or accidently deleted by users. In digital forensic, emails are considered as crucial evidences and Email Header Analysis has become important to collect evidence during forensic process. These E-Mails can be recovered from their HDDs and source files stored on the system or E-Mail servers.
Incident Response
An intrusion or attack can be frustrating or even mentally and emotionally demanding. One can certainly be better prepared and equipped to handle such a situation judiciously. Incident Response comprises of a set of instructions for managing cyber-attack or any form of security breach. Incident Response is an organized approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or attack (also known as, ‘incident’). The goal is to handle the situation in a way that limits damage and reduces recovery time and costs. An incident response plan includes a policy that defines what constitutes an incident and provides a step-by- step process that should be followed when such an incident occurs. Incident response (IR) plans are designed to test your company’s ability to respond to a security incident.
Data Leak Analysis
Every enterprise possesses sensitive data and securing the same is of paramount importance. Data Leak is an unauthorized transfer of classified information from a computer or datacentre to the outside world. Data leakage can be accomplished by either mentally remembering what was seen, by physical removal of tapes, disks and reports or by rather subtle means such as data hiding (see steganography). Sensitive data of companies and organizations include Intellectual Property (IP), financial information, patient information, personal credit-card data, and other valuable data depending on the business and the industry. Data leakage imposes a serious concern today for most organizations, considering the sheer number of such incidents in the recent past and cost borne by victims which continues to increase.
Data Recovery
Data recovery is a process of retrieving inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged, or formatted data from secondary storage devices, removable media, or files. The common causes of data loss include power outages, natural disasters, equipment failures or malfunctions, accidental deletion of data, unintentionally formatting a hard drive, damaged hard drive read/write heads, software crashes, logical errors, firmware corruption, continued use of a computer after signs of failure, physical damage to hard drives, laptop theft, etc.
Cyber Crime And Fraud Investigation
The advent of technology has brought about a revolution in our lives. Our communications, work, recreation and even utilities have undergone a change and are being powered by technology. Thus daily transactions are now faster, easier and more convenient than ever before. However, just like brick and mortar institutions, the virtual environment has its own risks and challenges. The recent increase in cybercrimes has brought this threat to the attention of many organizations, which are now increasingly sceptical regarding the security aspects of this medium.
