Objectives of proving in cyber security

Abstract

Proving is a cognitive activity by which the relevant authority ascertains
the objective state of the facts. The obtained information about the
subject matter can subsequently serve as a basis for further decisionmaking
by the statutory representative of the organization, public
authority, or law enforcement body or court. The obtained information
about the subject matter should be perceived as an essential prerequisite
for the subsequent fair decision-making of a specific subject. In general,
any information that helps to clarify the matter, to clarify the objective
state of reality, can serve as evidence. Any information results from the
analysis of the original data and, with appropriate interpretation, can
lead to knowledge. Evidence in cyberspace has a particular nature. The
article aims to explain different and similar characteristics of evidence
emphasizing judicial expert’s activities and cyber security audits.
