Cyber-Crime Investigations: Complex Collaborative Decision Making

This paper reports on the challenges computer forensic investigators face in relation to collaborative decision making, communication and coordination.The opportunities, operational environment and modus operandi of a cyber criminal are considered and used to develop the requirements in terms of both skill sets and procedural support a forensics investigator should have in order to respond to the respective threat vectors. As such, we show how a published framework for systemic thinking can be fit for purpose for supporting the collaborative enquiry and decision-making process.
