Computer Forensics: What is it? How is it Used in Civil and Criminal Incident Response Work? In this episode of the Faegre Drinker on Law and Technology Podcast, host Jason G. Weiss talks with Supervisory Special Agent Steve Crist of the FBI and former Orange County DA Investigator Dave White about the importance of using computer forensics in private sector and government cyber and incident response investigations. They explore the differences between computer forensics and traditional “wet” forensics; how computer forensics has grown to play a significant role in civil investigative and legal matters; the importance of digital evidence in criminal cases; and how a digital investigator works their way through a case.
