Software engineers at different levels would have varying file access rights at a company like Microsoft. Junior engineers would have less access than senior engineers to development code files. Human resources staff would have limited access only to employee HR files, rather than software code files. When investigating a criminal cyber incident involving digital files, forensic experts would need to carefully collect evidence from relevant files and systems to determine what happened while maintaining the integrity of the evidence.

1. 1) Come up with your own example application of file access rights in a real information
technology-related organization, choosing a few users or groups and arguing what their
permissions would be to important file assets. For example, at Microsoft, what would the
detailed file access rights be for software engineers to code in development? How would the file
access rights of the software engineers differ from the human resources staff? What about junior
engineers vs. senior ones? On File Security: 2) Come up with your own example of a real
information security/software security criminal incident that involves digital files, then argue
what particular evidence would need to be collected, and give a few details on how it should be
collected for digital forensics
