One of the most common FAQs I have come across is the difference between e-discovery and digital forensics.
One thing for sure, they both provide value to litigation.
E-discovery involves identifying, preserving, collecting, processing, reviewing and analyzing electronically stored information in litigation. In e-discovery, the role of an expert is to provide the information to legal teams in some kind of reviewable format for analysis.
On the other hand, digital forensics involves identifying, preserving, collecting, analyzing and reporting on digital information.In this case the expert will perform the analysis and report the finding's to the legal teams.
To me the main difference is in the role of the expert.
To add e-discovery is basically a process of data gathering.On a small scale, a search through emails for a particular email is e-discovery.
Digital forensics can be referred to as the autopsy of some storage device (includes network and backup storage device, mobile device). The main idea in digital forensics is to follow processes that comply with legal standards and any type of investigation.
As a digital forensics expert you actually dig deep into the data to produce things like deleted files, slack space searches, and user activity or more. It is a very time-consuming process to carry out an investigation.
