In legal proceedings, digital forensics is used to support a criminal case by discovering and uncovering case-clinching evidence from digital devices belonging to a suspect. It can also back an alibi and help prove a suspect’s innocence, by showing the use of a device in a certain location at a specific time.

Hybrid working and the cloud have changed things
Forensics teams are facing new challenges due to advances in technology and the growing threats that come with it.
Over the last couple of decades, data storage has evolved. From being limited to one device, data is increasingly stored on multiple devices. This puts increased pressure on digital forensic teams. Adding to this pressure are the continuous developments in anti-forensic techniques designed to cover the tracks of cyber criminals, including file encryption, disk ciphering, and ransomware.
Our forensic subject matter experts keep up to date with the latest anti-forensic techniques to ensure that both evidence and our work stands up to rigorous scrutiny.
The increase in hybrid working and the growing use of cloud technologies means that forensic investigations are conducted both internally and externally. Again, this has increased the demand to develop and maintain forensically sound custom methodologies and tooling.
