Detail WSDF 01/04
Digital forensics is a rapidly evolving field focused on the extraction, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence for use in courts, formal investigations, and other legal proceedings. As digital devices become ubiquitous and new technologies emerge at an ever faster pace, novel criminal opportunities and new forensic challenges continue to arise. WSDF 2026 brings together experts from academia, industry, government, and law enforcement to exchange knowledge, results, ideas, challenges, best practices, and experiences in digital forensics, while also welcoming related investigative topics from policing, criminology, law, and behavioural sciences.
