Forensic Investigation Lab & Computer/Digital Forensics

"Computer forensics (sometimes known as computer forensic science) is a branch of digital forensic science pertaining to legal evidence found in computers and digital storage media. The goal of computer forensics is to examine digital media in a forensically sound manner with the aim of identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing and presenting facts and opinions about the information."

In this fast moving and dynamic digital age, the information stored on digital devices reveals many details about what has been done and where one has been to. The authorities use this information to identify and convict people who break the law. To help them, they need skilled professionals who can gather and interpret this data.  As such, we strongly believe that computer/digital forensics is ONE OF THE MANY important skill sets that an information security practitioners should possess.
