BS Cyber Forensics and Security

Digital forensics is a form of forensic science that involves data recovery from digital devices during forensic investigations. Computers and other digital devices hold a wealth of information, including text, digital images, audio and video, which can serve as key evidence for solving crimes. Forensic software programs can be used to get images from digital storage media and analyze it. Information assurance involves protecting data and information against risks during processing, storage and transmission.
