*** INTRODUCTION ***
The big data paradigm has become an inevitable aspect of today's digital
forensics investigations. Acquiring a forensic copy of seized data
mediums already takes several hours due to the increasing storage size.
In addition are several other time-consuming laboratory analysis steps
required, such as evidence identification, corresponding data
preprocessing, analysis, linkage, and final reporting. These steps have
to be repeated for every physical device examined in the criminal case.
Conventional digital forensics data preprocessing and analysis methods
struggle when handling the contemporary variety, variability, volume and
velocity of case data. Thus, proactive approaches have to be developed
and integrated in daily law enforcement operations; for timely detection
and prevention of the illegal activities in a data-intensive
environments. Thus, there is a need for advanced big data analytics to
aid in cyber crime investigations, which requires novel approaches for
automated analysis. This workshop is organized to bring together recent
development in big data analysis to aid in current challenges in
cybercrime investigations.
