Computer Forensics
What is Computer Forensics?
Computer Forensics is a branch of digital forensics focused on identifying, preserving, and analysing data from computers and digital storage devices. It plays a critical role in investigating cybercrimes, data breaches, intellectual property theft, and other incidents involving technology.
By recovering deleted files, tracking user activities, and uncovering hidden data, computer forensics professionals provide crucial evidence for legal cases or corporate investigations. The process ensures that digital evidence remains intact and admissible in legal or organisational proceedings.
How Computer Forensics Supports Legal Work
Computer forensics recovers and examines data from computers, laptops, and digital storage that could influence legal proceedings. As digital systems store increasing amounts of information, they often contain key evidence for both criminal and civil cases. Tower Forensics helps solicitors establish facts, verify claims, and build stronger cases through professional digital analysis.
