subject: Dell Computer Forensics In Everyday Practice [print this page] You may not have thought much on the subject of Dell computer forensics in the past, but you should give this subject some consideration. Computer forensics is a career that is growing really fast, and is not really expected to peak for many years to come. The demand for these professionals is far greater than the number of people who are trained to provide the service.
The field of computer forensics is used by almost all law enforcement agencies today. Criminals often have documented evidence of the criminal behavior they have been engaged in on their home computers. They often place the information there so they can revisit the crime they committed, and relive the experience. When a suspect is arrested on suspicion of murder, rape, kidnapping, white collar crimes like embezzlement and such crimes as identity theft and stalking, the law enforcement agency that picks them up will obtain a subpoena to take their computers to the lab where a computer forensics expert will perform a computer autopsy of the data stored on it.
This process is done all over the country, multiple times every day. The person who has the skills needed to look into another person's life through their personal computers is required to do the job every day. A majority of the time the people that do this work could work around the clock, and they would still not finish the amount of work they have to do.
The FBI and other government agencies have people of this profession that work on cyber crime task forces. Most of these teams of specialist do work shifts that keep someone monitoring the internet and the things that are occurring there, around the clock. They have to schedule people twenty four hours a day, seven days a week to help catch the cyber criminals, because the criminals are online twenty four hours a day, and seven days a week committing crimes.
These task forces hunt identity thieves, and they hunt people who are active in the child pornography distribution, and the sex crimes that are perpetrated against innocent victims, and they look out for cyber bullies, and for cyber stalkers. The average person has no idea just how many virtual crimes are being committed every hour of every day. We luckily have computer forensics specialists to take care of these concerns for us, and to keep us safe to do the things we need to do online.
