Abstract

As organizations strive to be compliant in a digitally evolving world, they need to ensure that they are forensically ready. Digital forensic readiness ensures compliance in legal, regulatory, functional, and operational structures. A literature review revealed a gap in detailed and comprehensive guidance on how such readiness ought to be accomplished. This is as a result of unfamiliar concepts and terms that revolve around digital forensic readiness. This research paper highlights and elaborates on a framework that can be achieved from research within focus groups. The insights drawn from the focus groups are used to critically assess the issues affecting practitioners in achieving complete digital forensic readiness.

Highlights

Industry 5.0 was formally established in 2021 by the European Commission [1]
To determine whether the perspectives of the focus group participants aligned with the study area, they were asked to share their views on organizational forensic readiness
Expert 6 suggested that digital forensic readiness revolves around making sure that all tools, processes, and people are aligned to the ultimate goal, regardless of their role in the organization

Summary

Introduction

Industry 5.0 was formally established in 2021 by the European Commission [1]. This establishment was made after conducting critical analysis among scientists and industry experts in different branches of research, academia, and technology [2]. Hadoop HDFS platform implementation was chosen to propose and test live forensics in order to facilitate the process of data acquisition in the digital investigation. Penetration testing can be very useful in a post-attack stage, as it can conduct live data acquision processes to get valuable information about particular systems within the critical infrastructures. Consistency assists in adding value to data subsets Testing these types of data will result in locating additional information relevant the existing entities in the data subsets, which will lead to required evidence in the real-world forensic analysis. Criminal intelligence using Open-Source Intelligence Forensic (OSINT Forensic) is established to perform data mining and link analysis to trace terrorist activities in critical infrastructure by revealing and analyzing the email addresses and IP addresses, which could lead to useful information. Organizations need to produce forensic material in real-time in order for them to be effective enough [21]
