Process of conducting a cyber
forensic investigation

1 Identification and Seizure

First, evidence is identified and secured from digital devices by following proper protocols.

2 Acquisition and Preservation

Next, the data is acquired, preserved, and documented without altering its integrity.

3 Analysis and Examination

Finally, the evidence is carefully analyzed and examined using forensic tools and techniques.
Challenges and
limitations in cyber
forensic
Cyber forensic investigations face the challenge of rapidly evolving technology,
making it difficult to keep pace with new threats and techniques. Additionally,
the anonymity and encryption techniques used by cybercriminals create
hurdles in uncovering digital evidence. Moreover, data privacy laws and
jurisdictional issues complicate cross-border investigations.
