Cyber crime, Digital, Evidence, Forensic, Investigation

The study aimed at investigating the essential components of digital forensics evidence in organisations that use digital forensic evidence. That would assist in achieving high digital security level parameters and shortening the analysis time of computer forensic investigations. ICT is dynamic and new issues keep emerging. In lieu of this, digital forensic evidence acquisition and handling tools and components need to be reviewed and improved regularly. Digital forensic technique must be generally flexible, in that it can support any type of incidents and the new technologies.
