Abstract

Criminals have access to advanced technology that enables them to carry out malicious activities, often leaving behind digital evidence. Digital forensics is the scientific investigation of digital evidence that aims to uncover criminal activity and prevent further disruption. The increase in cybercrime has made digital forensics an essential aspect of the justice system. However, the field is currently struggling to keep up with the rapidly growing threat of cybercrime due to several challenges. One of these challenges stems from a lack of universal standardization in required qualifications, education, and training, causing discrepancies between agencies and organizations. The pace of technological advancements also poses a challenge for digital forensics, requiring constant learning and training to keep up with new technologies. Legal complications are also a significant issue, with the complexity of technology creating debate on how data should be handled according to the law. Due to the challenges the field faces, digital forensics remains unprepared to handle the growing threats of cybercrime.
