It’s a good thing that NetHunter requires physical access; otherwise, it would have been much easier for cyber criminals to cause much greater damage with it. We must also remember that it is still a dangerous tool that can fall into the hands of an organization’s number one threat, disgruntled employees.

I agree that ransomware is a top threat right now. I found it interesting that two of three respondents use security standards or frameworks to set their foundational controls, but 65% of respondents also indicated that the lack the ability to enforce their required controls. 93% felt that if they could enforce these foundational controls, it would mitigate the risk. So we all agree with the controls required to reduce this risk, but seems there is a lack the skills and or funding to implement the controls.

Explain where you think ethics plays a role in how we deal with digital forensics.
I think ethics plays important role in how we deal with digital forensics because forensics team has the privilege access to information systems and data in a company. Examiners will be exposed to trade secrets, data, confidential information. Some private…[Read more]

Very interesting news, Ryan.
I am curious why they choose cyber techniques as the primary skill for children. It will be difficult to teach kindergarten children how to code. But it is good to know all the basic cyber knowledge.

Nice comment on the news, Amanda,
I didn’t remember the incident, but I think every professior talks about academic dishonesty at the beginning of classes. But still students can come up with different ways to cheat. I felt cheating was useless because one day you have to work in the society, there is no chance to cheat. Also, even if you have…[Read more]

good answer, Vaibhav!
I saw the word “digital forensics” many times in your post. I agree that organization forensics is digital forensics, but I am still wondering if organization forensics=digital forensics. If so, we just need to give definition to digital forensics then. Is organization forensics different from digital forensics?

Great examples, Bilaal.
Thank you for providing examples of digital forensic tools and forensics considerations. I am still confused by the differences between organization forensics and digital forensics. Can I understand it as digital forensics readiness is the process of collecting digital evidences and organization forensics is the result of…[Read more] -

I really like your answer! Jonathan.
It is very easy to understand and short to read. I would recommend to emphasis the use of laws. But other than the legal use, I think you did a very good job on describing organization forensics. -

Great post, Amanda!
I totally agree that digital forensics is heavily used in organization forensics because of technologies. It should be easier to find criminals than science forensics since computer footprints are easier to track than physical footprints. Also, there are policies and regulations in a company and the country. -

I agree with all of your ideas, although Tesla cannot fully protect their user from a compromise device, they still need to take some actions to secure the application. If they have done everything they can to protect customers, no one will blame them when hacking happens.
