Cyber Investigations

Cyber Investigations play a vital role in the Criminal Justice field. They are critical for identifying emerging threats and helping to maintain the safety of our digital spaces. In addition, the pervasive reach of smartphones and computers means that almost all criminal investigations will have a digital component. The complexity of cyber crimes, including their technical nature and cross-jurisdictional challenges, necessitates specialized techniques and tools for evidence collection and analysis. Law enforcement professionals increasingly require proficiency in cyber investigatory techniques in order to successfully navigate these challenges.
