5. “The rapid and dramatic advances in information technology (IT) in
recent years have beyond doubt benefited the society at large.
However, they have created significant and unprecedented risks to
National Security, Human Rights, Cyber Safety, Corporate Safety and
Cyber Investigation. Computer security has, in turn, become much
more important as all levels of an organization to utilize information
systems security measures. The infestation of Digital Devices into the
environment is on the increase so is the challenge of Incident
Response and management of digital investigation in the field of
Cyber Security. Hacking has become a common terminology among
even the less prominent Cyber users. Hence obviates the need for
Incident Response by means of investigation and further culminating
into proactive and reactive Security Measures.
