5 Reasons Digital Forensics Is Vital for Governments!
In today’s digital era, cybercrime and cyber warfare are escalating, making digital forensics critical for governmental entities, ministries, banks, and leadership authorities. Recent attacks highlight the need for trained forensic teams. 5 Reasons Digital Forensics Is Vital for Governments!
Alarming Cybersecurity Incidents
- 2024–2025: Financial sector under attack Over 1.3 million banking-trojan attacks reported globally. 12.8% of B2B finance firms affected by ransomware. Malware increasingly uses AI, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and even NFC fraud. (Kaspersky)
- Mid-2024: Iran’s banking sector targeted IRLeaks hacked 20 of 29 Iranian banks, threatening millions of customers’ data. Initial ransom US $10M, partially paid $3M to avert release. (IFMAT)
- Early 2025: Bank Sepah data breach Hackers stole 12 TB of sensitive data, affecting 42M individuals. Ransom demand: US $42M in Bitcoin. (Wikipedia)
- Global cyberwarfare trend Attacks often aim to destabilize financial systems or political trust, not just steal money. AI-powered malware and blockchain-based control structures increase scale and speed of attacks. (PT Security)
Why Digital Forensics Matters?
Digital forensics is essential for tracing and attributing attacks, assessing damage, recovering compromised systems, and identifying vulnerabilities in third-party vendors. It allows institutions to prevent future attacks by feeding critical threat intelligence into defense systems while ensuring public and stakeholder trust is maintained. For governments, ministries, and banks, having a trained digital-forensics team transforms them from reactive responders to proactive defenders capable of withstanding even sophisticated cyber threats.
