The areas of Digital Forensics and Cyber Law have expanded beyond the prominent role they have traditionally played in law enforcement. Digital Forensics now is becoming an integral part Information as well as Accounting and Auditing. Cyber Law has grown to include areas such as Electronic Data Discovery, Electronic Data Destruction, and Compliance. Recent laws such as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and Sarbanes-Oxley, require both public sector and private sector managers to protect information systems and assets. Appropriately collecting digital evidence when an incident occurs is fundamental to bringing perpetrators of computer related crimes to justice and preventing future occurrences. An understanding of Digital Forensics will be needed not just by college students entering the various fields within technology, but also by those individuals entering business, criminal justice, law, accounting and homeland security.
