What is Forensics Services ?
Computer forensics is simply the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interests of determining potential legal evidence. Evidence might be sought in a wide range of computer crimes or misuse, including but not limited to theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, and fraud. CHFI investigators can draw on an array of methods for discovering data that resides in a computer system, or recovering deleted, encrypted, or damaged file information.

Benefits of Digital Forensics on cyber security
Prevent Hackers & Hijackers
Digital forensics has found valuable information that allows cyber security companies to develop technology that prevents hackers from accessing a network, website, or device. Hackers and hijackers are skilled at making their way into a person or business’s device or network, but digital forensics have collected data that cyber security can use to prevent hackers from getting into a device or network.
Prevent Viruses
Antivirus software is perhaps one of thee biggest benefits when it comes to how digital forensics has impacted cyber security. Digital forensics has found out how viruses get onto a device or network; usually, a hacker will implement a virus by sending a corrupt email or file. With this information, antivirus software can pay special attention to emails and files that are coming in.
Similarly, software that has been developed from digital forensic information can detect spyware and malware and can usually remove it before any information is exploited or deleted.
Recover Deleted Information
Recovering deleted information is crucial in a digital investigation, in a business data breach, or simply in a civilian’s life whose identity has been stolen digitally. Digital forensics recovers information using complex tools and methods in order to present it in a court of law. However, digital forensics has allowed cyber security to develop ways to do this if a person needs to recover data and there is not a court case.
DR, disaster recovery, is an area of cyber security that is designed to protect a network, usually affiliated with a business, from a cyber attack. DR creates a plan with step by step strategies to recover disrupted networks if a cyber attack does in fact occur. Therefore, an emergency plan is already intact and information will be stored in different networks/servers so it is easy to recover.
Identifying arear of Weakness and Vulnerabilities
Areas of weakness are not always apparent which makes it easy for cyber attackers to access data or information without a problem. Digital forensic services compile information that can show cyber security where the typical areas of weakness are in a network or website. Cyber security software can then pay special attention or fix these areas of weakness or vulnerability.
A particularly common area of weakness or vulnerability is simply the password aspect of a network or account. Often, hackers gain access to devices by doing research on a person or company and guessing their password. It’s important to not make your password anything that has a significant personal meaning such as a name or birthday.
Improving your Cyber Security
It’s important to keep in mind how both digital forensics and cyber security work together to protect people’s online presence and private information. Digital forensics is improving cyber security every day and the possibilities of increased improvement are endless. With the information that digital forensics has discovered, using cyber security to your advantage has never been easier and the benefits could ultimately save your online presence or business.
