What Is Digital Forensics? | Foundations of Cyber Investigations & Evidence Analysis

In this video, we introduce Digital Forensics, a foundational discipline in cybersecurity focused on the identification, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence. This lecture explains what digital forensics is — and just as importantly, what it is not. We break down the differences between forensics, data recovery, hacking, and system administration, and explain why methodology, documentation, and repeatability are critical in real investigations. You’ll learn how digital forensics supports cybersecurity operations, incident response, legal proceedings, and organizational decision-making. We also discuss the investigative mindset required to move beyond tool usage and toward evidence-driven analysis. This content is designed for students, aspiring forensic analysts, cybersecurity professionals, and defenders who want a strong conceptual foundation before moving into hands-on forensic labs. All material presented is for educational purposes only, performed in authorized, controlled lab environments, and aligned with ethical hacking, ABET, and CAE-approved curricula. By the end of this video, you’ll understand: What digital forensics is and why it exists How forensic investigations differ from data recovery The role of people, systems, and data in investigations How forensics supports cybersecurity and incident response The mindset employers expect from forensic professionals 🔐 Educational use only.
