POLICING PHRONESIS

Cyber Forensics, also known as Digital Forensics, is a scientific examination performed by a certified Cyber Forensic specialist that includes the identification, collection, preservation, and analysis of all types of Electronically Stored Information (ESI), (also known as digital information or electronic data), in order for the information obtained to be used as evidence in a court of law. Computer forensics' purpose is to conduct a systematic investigation and maintain a recorded chain of evidence to determine precisely what occurred on a computing device and who was accountable.

A Cyber Forensic Investigator has a high likelihood of recovering deleted files from a subject's hard disc, despite the fact that every situation is different from the next. Even when a file is deleted in the conventional manner, the contents of the file are not completely erased from the hard drive; instead, the operating system only removes a pointer to the file, causing it to no longer show in folders or directories; the file itself remains on the hard drive. Digital files, contrary to popular belief, do not vanish when the delete button is pushed, and are therefore usually recoverable and usable after they have been deleted.

Cyber Forensics is applied in a number of situations. The most common ones are listed below:

1. Information about a company that hasn't been permitted to be shared has been leaked.
2. Theft of intellectual property or trade secrets is a serious problem.
3. Employee Internet abuse or other computer policy infractions.
4. Misconduct in the Workplace.
5. Damage evaluation and analysis (post incident)
6. Industrial espionage
7. Cases involving negligence, sexual harassment, and dishonesty
8. Gathering evidence for future employee firing
9. White-collar crime and criminal fraud
10. Many civil cases as well as more broad criminal cases

There are three sorts of data that we are concerned with in computer forensics: active, archive, and latent. 1. The information that we and you can view is known as active data. The operating system uses data files, programmes, and files. This is the most straightforward type of information to collect. 2. Data that has been backed up and stored is referred to as archival data. To name a few examples, this could include backup tapes, CDs, floppies, or full hard drives. 3. Latent (sometimes known as ambient) data is information that requires specialist instruments to access. Information that has been destroyed or partially rewritten is an example.

Consultancy is a business service where a company hires an external organization for a fee in order to obtain advice, expertise, or a solution to a specific problem in a way that it cannot in-house. Consulting companies offer different services, from consultancy on the strategy of the business, reducing costs through more efficient processes, improving customer satisfaction to more fundamental changes like re-engineering of business models. The consultancy offers an alternative approach to solving problems that may be overlooked by management, especially if they are not trained or experienced enough to view problems using this method. Consulting is generally used by large organizations that tend to have more complex problems than smaller businesses.

A consultant is someone with experience who is brought in to advise someone else. A consultant is paid for his time, like an attorney or a mechanic or any other professional service provider. His value is not intrinsic, but extrinsic. The people who hire consultants are usually experts in some field themselves. They may be experts because they have experience and/or training, or because they occupy a position of responsibility and authority: the higher your rank, the more you get to decide things and give orders and get people to do what you say. But the people who make the final decisions are not necessarily experts; they may simply be senior in rank, or they may be outside experts brought in by the other experts to provide advice.

There are several different consultancies: Media consultancy A media consultancy is a company whose business is to help others interact with the media. Media consultants advise their clients on the best way to get publicity for their business, charity, or not-for-profit organization. Media Consultancy firms will often work on behalf of public relations firms or advertising agencies. They may also work with businesses on their own account. Marketing consultancy Marketing consultancy is one of the most popular services that businesses outsource to external parties. Marketing consultants have a variety of skills, including business strategy, market research, marketing communications, branding, and market segmentation. Political consultancy Political consultancy is an extremely broad term that can include public relations, advertising, media buying, and other allied fields. The purpose of a political consultancy is to help small-scale organizations (parties, interest groups, individual politicians) create political effects. IT consultancy IT consultancy is basically a management consultancy for IT. This kind of consultancy has the same range of business problems to solve as any other management consultancy, but it uses IT tools to solve them.

The consulting industry has brought together experts in every field, which has led to new insights across all fields. Consultants often work with companies in other industries. So when they are traveling, they are exposed to other businesses, which makes them aware of opportunities their clients have not yet seen. This gives them a wide range of expertise. At the same time, consultants are much in demand because they have the expertise their clients need, at a time when they don't have enough internal experts to answer all their questions.
