CYS 663 Digital forensics and investigating
During this module, you explored the topics of forensic methods and labs. Different kinds of cases go through different processes. It is important that the investigator manages digital evidence throughout this process and follows guidelines. Consider the do’s and don’ts of managing digital evidence and respond to the following:
- Explain how to manage digital evidence throughout the lifecycle of a case so that it is admissible in court or for use in legal action. List two reasons why digital evidence might be inadmissible.
- Identify the requirements for acquiring and authenticating evidence.
- Support your viewpoint using sources from the Internet, your textbook, or the Saudi Digital Library.
In preparing your response, include at least one source from professional or academic literature—such as articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks. For this course, Wikipedia is not considered an academic or professional reference. Also, proofread and spell check your responses. All sources should be formatted using APA guidelines.
You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
