摘要：Digital forensics is often confused with eDiscovery (electronic discovery). However, both the fields are highly independent of the other but slightly overlap to assist each other in a symbiotic relationship. With decreasing costs of cloud storage, growing Internet speeds, and growing capacity of portable storage media, their chances of being used in a crime have grown. Sifting through large volumes of evidential data during eDiscovery or forensically investigating them requires teams from both these fields to work together on a case. In this paper, the authors discuss the relationship between these disciplines and highlight the digital forensic skills required, sub-disciplines of digital forensics, the possible electronic artifacts that can be encountered in a case, and the forensic opportunities relative to the eDiscovery industry. Lastly, the authors touch upon the best practices in digital evidence management during the eDiscovery process.
