Ever deleted an email or text message only to need it later? Digital information can feel frustratingly impermanent. But what if that missing piece holds the key to a legal case? In today’s digital world, where our lives are increasingly documented electronically, the ability to collect and analyze this data is crucial. That’s where digital forensics and eDiscovery come in.
Both fields deal with electronically stored information (ESI), but with distinct purposes. While eDiscovery focuses on identifying relevant data for legal matters, digital forensics dives deeper, aiming to uncover hidden evidence and ensure its admissibility in court—both playing equally important parts in digital evidence collection.
