1) Increasing use of AI and machine learning In 2023, ML algorithms, aided by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), can help streamline threat detection in real-time and also help identify behavior patterns consistent with malicious activity and prevent cyberattacks before they happen.

2) Growth of cloud-based digital forensics Some cloud-based systems have built-in forensic capabilities, but digital forensics must continue to adapt and keep pace with the evolution of cloud-based systems. However, with the current technology, the Cloud-based digital forensics might take a little more time to grow to its highest potential.

3) Greater emphasis on mobile device forensics Various mobile device forensics tools and techniques have been developed to overcome these challenges.

One popular tool is Cellebrite, which provides various mobile device data extraction and analysis solutions. With the evolution of mobile devices, digital forensics must adapt to keep pace with these changes.

4) Expansion of digital Forensics into the Internet of Things (IoT) [or Biometrics ?] The fourth trend for digital forensics in 2023 is biometric authentication, such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, which have become increasingly popular.

Unlike passwords, biometric data cannot be changed if compromised, raising the risk of identity theft. Additionally, there are concerns about the accuracy and reliability of biometric systems and the potential for misuse of biometric data.

5) Collaboration between digital forensics and cybersecurity The collaboration includes utilizing threat intelligence and incident response plans and working on specific investigations. By exchanging information and knowledge, these teams can identify and respond to cyber threats more effectively.
