Behavioural Analytics in Cyber Security for Digital Forensics Application
The paper emphasizes the human aspects of cyber incidents concerning protecting information and technology assets by addressing behavioral analytics in cybersecurity for digital forensics applications. The paper demonstrates the human vulnerabilities associated with information systems technologies and components. This assessment is based on past literature assessments done in this area. This study also includes analyses of various frameworks that have led to the adoption of behavioral analysis in digital forensics. The study's findings indicate that behavioral evidence analysis should be included as part of the digital forensics examination. The provision of standardized investigation methods and the inclusion of human factors such as motives and behavioral tendencies are some of the factors attached to the use of behavioral digital forensic frameworks. However, the study also appreciates the need for a more generalizable digital forensic method.
