What is Computer Forensics?

Computer Forensics is the art of applying computer science to aid the legal process. Although plenty of science is attributable to Computer Forensics, most successful investigators possess a nose for investigations and a skill for solving puzzles, which is where the art comes in. To put it simply, Computer Forensics is the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interest of determining potential legal evidence.

Why is it important to enlist the services of an examiner who is "Certified"?

There are many computer professionals out there that may seek to qualify themselves as a computer examiner expert. However, in a court of law an expert is one who is deemed to provide a Qualified Professional opinion on a particular subject matter. The (CCE) Certified Computer Examiner Certification may afford this person that opportunity to qualify as an "expert witness" in a court of law while providing valuable testimony. Whereas, other computer professionals do not qualify because of their non experience in the subject matter. Mr. Bert Moss ISEBahamas president, is a certified computer examiner.

Examples of when a Computer Examiner can be of assistance

An example of how computer forensics is affecting the current workplace is the aspect of security. Employees' work computers are now being monitored to ensure no illegal actions are taking place in the office. They also have heightened security so outsiders cannot access a company's confidential files. If this security is broken a company is then able to use computer forensics to trace back to which computer was being tampered with and what information was extracted from it, possibly leading to the guilty parties and other potential parties involved.

Another example is the case of "Chandra Levy" who went missing on April 30, 2001. She was a Washington DC intern whose disappearance was widely publicized. While her location was unknown, she had used the Internet as well as e-mail to make travel arrangements and to communicate with her parents. The use of this technology helped a computer criminalist trace her whereabouts. The information found on her computer led police to her location, even though she had been missing for one year.

A final example is where there have been a number of cases at institutions where authority figures have been charged with possession of child pornography. These discoveries were made using computer forensics. By tracking the buying and selling of pornography online, computer forensic investigators have been able to locate people involved in these crimes. They are able to use information found on the computers as circumstantial evidence in court, allowing prosecution to occur.
