Organizing research and development in cyber forensics
Abstract
The field of Cyber Forensics is still in its early stages of development. There are many possibilities for conducting research to progress the field, but not everyone knows what they are. This study sought to identify the general needs of the field's practitioners and discover any prevailing issues preventing the Cyber Forensic field from maintaining or establishing validity in its procedures, software, and expert witnesses. This study took volunteers from universities that offer a cyber forensic program and each state's law enforcement cyber crime units. All participants were given three rounds of questions in order to discover the issues of the field. From these questions, lists of categorized issues were generated. The top issues were chosen from each category, as well as the top ten issues overall.
