The following is a very interesting white paper on the Evolution of Digital Forensics by Ian Charters. Ian is a very good friend of mine and a member of the Board of Advisors for my company Ascension Risk Management. The paper is aimed at the laymen and explores how digital forensics has evolved over the years.
Ian’s background has covered a wide range of environments. He began his career as an independent business man with his own networking and software development firm before he was recruited into the nation’s Intelligence community. His tenure there spanned over 20 years and included service in both the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It is from this time period from which Ian’s experience with digital forensics springs.
If you have ever been interested in Digital Forensics then this paper is a great introduction into the field. It is a quick, non-technical overview of the subject and aimed at the general reader. Further papers may explore some of the more technical aspects of digital forensics and how they can be used in the corporate environment.
