DIGITAL FORENSICS PORTFOLIO2
Introduction
The concept of Digital Forensics has been regarded as a process by which the
computer evidences preserved, identified, extracted and documented in such a way that these
can later be put under jurisdiction to be represented at court in time of need. Digital forensics
has the ability to track the utilization of digital media from different accessible areas like the
mobile phones, computers, servers or even within a network. The digital forensics are
legalized works carried out by the court of law and a dedicated team that usually works for
finding out evidences of digital use through the resources as mentioned as above (Horsman
2019). This is why, the following report would represent the activities following the digital
forensics procedures and how there are issues that surround these procedures. There would be
detailed discussions about the issues that usually influence the investigation of cybercrimes
and the current technological issues that arise with digital forensics. It would also describe
the adaptations of the forensic practises within multiple contexts for conducting the digital
evidences. In the end, there would be a personal reflection that would describe the learning
and gathering achieved through the entire module.
Task 1: Issues that influence the investigation of cybercrimes and current
technological issues in digital forensics
The application of digital forensics is mostly done to investigate a cybercrime.
However, this is not suggestively as easier as it seems. The cybercrime investigations are
mostly conducted by the group of people identified as First Respondents (Chernyshev et al.
2018). These are the people associated with the law enforcement and mostly belong to the
military police officers’ group, the private investigators, the information technology
specialists or the employees within a workforce who are abiding the law for the cybersecurity
enforcements. The entire process of conducting a digital forensic to investigate a cybercrime
