Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science that involves the collection, analysis, and preservation of digital evidence from various sources, including computers, servers, storage devices, and mobile phones. The primary objective is to investigate crimes, data breaches, or policy violations in a legally admissible manner.
MSMEs are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to various factors, including nation-state attackers from envious countries.
In recent years, India has seen a dramatic increase in cyberattacks, with the average website experiencing **6.9 million unwanted requests annually**, according to Indusface. Alarmingly, this is **26% higher than the global average**, making Indian businesses, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), highly vulnerable. **Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks** are also disproportionately affecting Indian companies compared to global counterparts.
For MSMEs, which form the backbone of India’s economy, these attacks pose a severe threat. Unlike large corporations, MSMEs often lack **robust cybersecurity infrastructure**, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. The impact of such attacks extends beyond financial loss—**operational disruptions, reputational damage, and legal consequences** can cripple a business overnight.
