While the two overlap in some ways, computer forensics is not the same as cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a network and systems protection to prevent incursions, leaks, data loss, or malicious activity. Computer forensics, on the other hand, concerns itself primarily with what happens after a breach, wipe, or other malign activity has occurred.


Because of the difference, the mechanics of computer forensics are necessarily different from securing a computer or network. Our work is concerned with information recovery and preservation, which often finds us working on computers and mobile devices that have been purposely wiped. There is often a surprising amount of data in caches, temp files, print queues, and a number of other areas.

Why Work with Barefoot Professional Investigations?


Barefoot Professional Investigations has assisted in numerous civil and criminal computer forensics cases, covering a wide range of subject areas. Clients have come to us seeking evidence of intellectual property theft and industrial espionage, fraud, compliance shortfalls, embezzlement, and a number of other computer-related concerns.


Our work generally finds us utilizing a number of advanced tools and forensic techniques, drawing on instincts honed from decades of investigative experience. We find that none of these disciplines exist in a vacuum; the results of a computer forensic investigation in The Carolinas often requires us to draw on other skill sets including witness interviews and background checks, which isn’t something someone who’s merely studied computer forensics can do.


As with other services provided by Barefoot Professional Investigations, computer forensics teases out the other information that surrounds it - untangling a complex web of motivations, consequences, and what may be other attendant criminal activity. This can raise legal and ethical issues; we approach these with sensitivity, integrity, and skill.
