Abstract
The nature and impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) involve major challenges and opportunities for forensic analysis and legal regulation. The legal challenges for forensic analysis in cyber-space include: · global liability issues; · jurisdiction–based issues; · risk issues; · data and document retention issues; · response and regulatory issues; · independence, objectivity and expertise issues; · commercialization issues; · regulatory and investigation issues; and · human rights issues. The opportunity exists for forensic analysis to play a key role in the regulation of cyber-space and the management of cyber-risk.
