This article aims at understanding, firstly, the connection between Digital forensics and Cybersecurity, secondly the role played by digital forensics in Cybercrime, also delves a little bit into the recent history of digital forensics, how is it relevant today, the benefits of using forensic techniques. There are challenges in the field of forensics but there are ways to overcome those challenges.
