A Conceptual Framework on Digital Forensics Readiness for Criminals Tracking: Data Reduction Modalities

Abstract

The ever-growing threats of fraud and security incidents present many challenges to law enforcement and organizations across the globe. The volume of digital forensic evidence is rapidly increasing, leading to large backlogs. However, Digital Forensic Data Reduction and Data Mining Framework is proposed. The framework outlined is not suggested to replace full analysis, but serves to provide a rapid triage, collection, intelligence analysis, and review and storage methodology to support the various stages of digital forensic examinations. This study contributes to the greater body of knowledge on the design and implementation of a digital forensic readiness programme, aimed at maximizing the use of digital evidence in an organization
