A STUDY ABOUT ROLE OF COMPUTERS IN DIGITAL FORENSICS FOR BUSINESS DURING DISASTER AND CYBER CRISIS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY

Abstract

To discover criminal activities, digital forensics is crucial in researching and analyzing digital evidence. Computers are now essential in digital forensics because to the ever-increasing complexity and volume of digital data. In this article, the researcher will look at the many ways computers have helped in digital forensics, focusing on areas like evidence gathering, analysis, and presentation. As computing power has increased, forensic investigators have access to more effective methods for gathering, storing, and analyzing digital evidence. There are possibilities and difficulties for digital forensics professionals brought about by developments in data storage and retrieval and the proliferation of networked devices. Data recovery, forensic analysis software, and machine learning are some of the computational technologies discussed in this study as crucial in improving the efficiency and precision of investigations. In addition, it delves into the legal and ethical aspects of digital forensics and how computers play a role in this field. This study highlights the relevance of multidisciplinary collaboration and continuous technical breakthroughs in addressing cyber threats and ensuring the integrity of digital investigations by clarifying the symbiotic link between computers and digital forensics. Computers' function in digital forensics is the foundation of the paper. As the world becomes more digital, all of these sectors are incorporating digitalisation into their operations.
