WHAT IS COMPUTER FORENSICS?

With the explosion of computer and internet related crimes leaving trails of digital evidence, there is a growing need to increase forensic capabilities. At HD Forensics whether the crime involves drugs, violence, fraud, child pornography or even acts of terrorism, following the electronic trail is a critical component of putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

Although recovering digital evidence is a critical part of even the most routine police investigation, on the increase is the corporate organisation that is utilising computer forensics, investigating incidents such as inappropriate computer use, inappropriate email use, unauthorised data duplication and disloyal employees. Human Resource departments and Internal Security are the biggest users of these specialist corporate services.
