Andres,

Interesting take on answering the question. I was able to follow your thought process and it made sense. Definitely gave me a new perspective on relating ethics to digital forensics. I agree, without ethics, we would not have digital forensics. However, after the readings and research it is clear that there is a lack of ethical…[Read more]

Jonathan,

I liked the way you approached this week’s question and pieced together your own definition of ethics. I agree with your connection of ethics to morals because morals definitely can play a main role in how people operate in their daily jobs. Also, good way to conclude your response. If one has a good grasp on ethics in the digital…[Read more]

Professionals in forensics recover, analyze, process, and testify about digital evidence in court. Additionally, examiners are given access to information systems and data to be able to investigate. Throughout their investigations, it is possible they are exposed to trade secrets, threats to national security, personal information, etc. Due to the…[Read more]

Really appreciate all the comments everyone. I am new to cyber so it helps reading your thoughts related to international cyber crime, which I am not very knowledgeable in. With the constant increase in cyber attacks and I am sure it will continue to increase since we live in a technical world, I am wondering when a strong, reliable international…[Read more]

Good point made and definitely helped me think through Darin’s article. Like you said, could be quite easier for a attacker to trick online users versus a large corporation. I feel as if many people lack cyber awareness, which is why so many people fall for scams, whether it is clicking a link to get free Netflix or falling for a phishing scam…[Read more]

Good article pick due to how much people utilize email these days and the risks it can bring. In the article, it mentioned about the lack of cyber awareness from people, which I could not agree more with. It reminded me that at work before an employee sends an email, a message comes up and you have to click if the email should be labeled as…[Read more]

I could not agree with both of you more. This article definitely made me scratch my head and take some time to think about it. The life of a patient is definitely more dangerous than hacking other systems. Like Roberto said, the health industry definitely needs to take some courses on cyber security and ensure the information is safe, but most…[Read more]

St. Jude Medical Patches Cardiac Machine’s Cybersecurity Flaw

St. Jude Medical recently started deploying software to help protect its remote monitoring system for implantable pacemaker and defibrillator devices. It came out that its product, Merlin@home transmitter, contained vulnerabilities. The product collects data and sends it to the p…[Read more]

Joseph,

Interesting approach in answering the wiki question by stating all the organizations that are strongly associated with digital forensics. I have to agree with Ruslan about how it is quite fascinating how forensics is applied by many organizations throughout the country, but also internationally. It also makes sense because we are…[Read more]

Jonathan,

I completely agree with Roberto’s reply. I believe you broke down the use of forensics by an organization very well and understandable for someone who may not be familiar with the term. The only thing I would briefly mention are the policies, procedures, requirements, etc. that an organization has to strictly adhere to, especially if…[Read more]

Amanda,

I like how you indirectly pointed out how forensics has changed over time. Today, digital forensics is heavily used because we live in a “digital” world and technology is involved in our everyday lives, including organizations that strongly rely on technology to be successful.

Andres,

I really like your approach to answering this question. You took the route on explaining more about the polices, procedures, and laws, which was quite different than some of our other classmates. The examples to each piece was very helpful in understanding in your definition. The ethical policies and legal compliance definitely plays a…[Read more]

If you were tasked to write the Wikipedia page for Organizational Forensics what would it say?

Forensic Science is defined as the scientific method of gathering and examining for the purpose of presenting in court. Organizational Forensics is the use of forensics, mainly digital forensics, within companies to help preserve the company’s i…[Read more]
