After watching the speaker Mr. Davin Teo in his presentation on digital forensics, I am<\/p>\n\n\n\n
just amazed at how many fields of social sciences are involved. A profession in digital<\/p>\n\n\n\n
forensics requires strong connections to the social sciences especially, economics,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
criminology, linguistics, psychology, and sociology to mention a few. Gathering<\/p>\n\n\n\n
informational evidence is a meticulous way of investigating the reasons why a person<\/p>\n\n\n\n
might have the reason or mental process to become an offender. The setting of the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
digital world is attached to the human being, what decisions, behaviors and motivations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
led to determining his actions to include illegal cyber offences, data breaches, fraud and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
even death threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many required a high level of understanding. I love the way he explained how popular tv<\/p>\n\n\n\n
shows portray digital forensics, maybe in the near future we might be there, where<\/p>\n\n\n\n
anything can be solved instantly, he definitely stated there is progress for sure, because<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we do not use floppy disks anymore and downloadable data is greater than terabytes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
like it as before, in the ancient world. He needed a more enthusiastic crowd for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like we have the capability to download the whole Netflix library in one second today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His pathway on how he got involved in digital forensics is pretty cool, the way he found<\/p>\n\n\n\n
his calling, there were no real pathways back then, like it is now, so he got lucky, took<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the risk on the firm in Australia and became one of the first ones in that field, especially<\/p>\n\n\n\n
coming from accounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some key notes I took from him is that we need to be patient, it takes time and plenty of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
more patience to be able to succeed, like anything these days, is not as exciting as it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sounds. It is important to take the risk to open opportunities, and try to reinvent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ourselves to become adaptable in any of the fields of our choosing. We might find our<\/p>\n\n\n\n
calling and passion like he did. I love the idea of using the social principles of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
understanding and interpreting human behavior, placing and dissecting digital evidence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
studying users’ digital activities, and to be able to reconstruct anything digital to be used<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in the court of law, it is just mindblowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
