Topic: From Logs to Evidence: Forensic Workflows in Mobile Devices
Abstract: In today’s connected world, digital forensics must evolve to meet the complexity of modern environments. This webinar marks the first installment of the “From Logs to Evidence” series and focuses on forensic workflows across mobile device environments, from correlating logs and artifacts to reconstructing user activity. As mobile devices are inherently personal, they can serve as critical evidence in associating individuals with specific actions. However, they also present significant challenges, particularly concerning legal authority for device access and data retrieval, especially due to encryption and other security measures. This session will explore aspects of mobile forensics, including tools and techniques, timeline reconstruction, and correlation of artifacts across iOS and Android platforms, among other relevant topics.
Key Takeaways:
- Current challenges in mobile device forensics
- Key standards applicable to mobile device investigations
- Tools and techniques used in mobile forensic analysis
- Compliance requirements and best practices for handling mobile evidence
