Digital Forensics: A Billion-Dollar Market in the Making

Digital Forensics: A Billion-Dollar Market in the Making

While the article primarily addresses LE's use of digital forensics, it is important to note that the market for civilian forensic investigators will absolutely GO THROUGH THE ROOF as well!

Why will D.F. become a billion dollar business?

"[Digital Forensics] is going to expand dramatically over the next few years because we are entering a new age of computing shaped by the Internet of Things. In the coming years, everything will be smart, including our cars, thermostats, and refrigerators. But this means we will generate and leave a visible trail at every place we visit, on everything we touch, and with everything we do. Therefore, in the next few years, we will be in a position in which every activity, including any law enforcement investigation, will have a digital forensics component."
