Today, I was reflecting on the intersection of digital forensics and the social sciences, especially after listening to a speaker who shared his career journey in this field. It’s fascinating how the pathway to becoming a digital forensics investigator isn’t just rooted in technical knowledge or computer science, but is deeply influenced by social science concepts like human behavior, decision-making, and the ethical implications of technology.
The speaker described how his interest in digital forensics grew from his background in criminology and psychology. Initially, he was drawn to studying criminal behavior and understanding the motivations behind people’s actions. This led him to an exploration of how technology could be used both to perpetrate crimes and to uncover evidence. His career path wasn’t linear—he worked in law enforcement for a while, focusing on criminal investigations, before transitioning into the realm of digital forensics.
