Cyber forensics in India is at nascent stage. Neither the legal frameworks nor the policies of India have considered cyber forensics effectively. We have no dedicated cyber forensics laws in India and even the cyber law of India, i.e. information technology act, 2000, has not incorporated sufficient provisions regarding cyber forensics.However, very soon cyber forensics legal framework would be established in India. Further, even in the absence of such legal framework the demand for cyber forensics professionals has increased a lot in India and world wide. However, the supply of trained cyber forensics specialists is too short to accommodate the growing demands in this regard.
A cyber forensics professional must be aware of both legal and technical aspects. If a professional is weak at legal aspects the evidence acquired using cyber forensics methods may not be admissible in a court of law. Similarly, if a professional is not well versed with the technicalities of cyber forensics, useful evidence may not be acquired.
Cyber forensics skills development in India is yet to be achieved as it is not an easy task and it requires dedication and good techno legal practical training. Even lawyers and judges must have scientific knowledge of cyber law, cyber forensics and digital evidencing.
