In the past, a digital specialist did all of the data investigations on their own. Today, it’s common for one person or team to collect the devices and raw data, while another person or team is charged with processing and examining the data. As a result, we have somehow ended up with a “silo” approach to digital forensics, in which the Examiner and the Investigator work a case in separate cubicles and with little interaction. This is problematic because it denies the agency of the benefit that comes from professionals across the workflow sharing insights, discoveries and theories with each other that might assist with various elements of the investigation.
