Extract from Tim Rollins’s article “Digital Forensics Observations from the Field, Summer 2023”
This article is a post authored by Ian Rainsborough, Regional Vice President for Public Sector Europe at Exterro
Given my title and employer, it should be no surprise that my team and I spend our time with very interesting people, doing very interesting things in the field of digital forensics (DF) for our governments and law enforcement agencies.
Without these agencies, and those that support them, our borders would be open, our taxes would go uncollected, and the rule of law could not be enforced.
My team and I are lucky enough to hear the successes, the frustrations, the challenges, and most importantly the aspirations of those we work with across the forensics field: from front-line Officers and Investigators, through Forensic Analysts and Lab Managers, procurement and infrastructure teams, all the way to Ministers and Commissioners determining national strategies.
