Forensic specialists are cybersecurity experts who investigate digital incidents, such as cyberattacks, data breaches, or unauthorized access. Their primary role is to collect, analyze, and preserve digital evidence to understand how a security incident occurred, what systems or data were affected, and who may be responsible. They use specialized tools and techniques to recover deleted files, trace network activity, and reconstruct timelines of events. Their findings support legal proceedings, incident response, and future prevention strategies. Forensic specialists often collaborate with law enforcement, legal teams, and IT departments to ensure a thorough and legally sound investigation.
