Cyber Forensics Module I

What is the primary focus of cyber forensics?

• The identification and analysis of digital evidence in cyber crimes.

• The training of employees in cybersecurity best practices.

• The management of network infrastructure.

• The development of new cybersecurity software.

Name one technological aspect of cyber forensics.

• Data encryption methods

• Digital evidence recovery tools

• Network security protocols

• Malware detection software

What are the governance aspects of cyber forensics concerned with?

• Governance aspects of cyber forensics are concerned with policies, legal compliance, ethical standards, and management of digital evidence.

• Network security protocols

• User interface design principles

• Technical specifications of hardware

How do judicial aspects influence cyber forensic investigations?

• Judicial aspects establish legal frameworks for evidence collection and admissibility, impacting the integrity of cyber forensic investigations.

• Judicial aspects are irrelevant to the process of evidence collection.

• Judicial aspects only affect physical evidence, not digital.

• Judicial aspects have no impact on cyber forensic investigations.

What legal perspectives must be considered in cyber forensic investigations?

• Network security protocols

• Data encryption methods

• User interface design principles

• Admissibility of evidence, chain of custody, privacy laws, jurisdiction, compliance with regulations, warrants or subpoenas.

What is the difference between public and private investigations in forensics?

• Public investigations are official and government-led, while private investigations are conducted by individuals or firms for personal or business purposes.

• Public investigations can be conducted by anyone without restrictions.

• Private investigations are only legal in certain states.

• Public investigations are always more thorough than private ones.

List one principle of forensic investigation.

• Preservation of evidence

• Interviewing suspects

• Analysis of motive

• Collection of witness statements

What is the purpose of a forensic protocol for evidence acquisition?

• To allow for the destruction of irrelevant evidence.

• To reduce the cost of forensic investigations.

• To speed up the evidence collection process.

• To maintain the integrity and authenticity of collected evidence.

What are digital forensics standards and guidelines?

• Digital forensics standards are only applicable to physical evidence.

• Digital forensics guidelines are suggestions that can be ignored during investigations.

• Digital forensics standards are irrelevant to the legal process.

• Digital forensics standards and guidelines are protocols that ensure the integrity and reliability of digital evidence in investigations.

Define digital evidence in the context of cyber forensics.

• Digital evidence refers to any information that is not related to technology.

• Digital evidence is information stored or transmitted in digital form that is relevant to a legal investigation.

• Digital evidence is only physical items found at a crime scene.

• Digital evidence is solely the data stored on a personal computer.
