Executive Summary
A digital investigation is the search of computers and other electronic devices for evidence or specific information. Investigations require planning and preparation, but how do you plan for the unknown? Sadly, IT security's culture of secrecy and shame makes it harder for you to learn how to prepare for and conduct successful digital investigations than it is for attackers to learn new attacks and how to cover their tracks. But don't despair — products designed for specific types of investigations, information sharing groups, and partnerships between industry and law enforcement agencies are all making digital investigations less of a black art. The digital investigations market is entering its adolescent growth spurt. So, what should you do next? Create and train your incident response and digital investigations teams, and form relationships with experts from law enforcement and consultancies, so they'll be ready to help you when you need them.
