=== Cybersecurity === Computer forensics is often confused with [[cybersecurity]]. Cybersecurity focuses on prevention and protection, while computer forensics is more reactionary and active, involving activities such as tracking and exposing. System security usually encompasses two teams: cybersecurity and computer forensics, which work together. A cybersecurity team creates systems and programs to protect data; if these fail, the computer forensics team recovers the data and investigates the intrusion and theft. Both areas require knowledge of computer science.<ref>{{cite web|title=What Is Computer Forensics? |url=https://www.wgu.edu/blog/computer-forensics2004.html |website=Western Governors University}}</ref>
