Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3)
The Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3) sets standards
for digital evidence processing, analysis, and diagnostics for any DoD
investigation that requires computer forensic support to detect, enhance,
or recover digital media, including audio and video. The center assists
in criminal, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and fraud investigations
of the Defense Criminal Investigative Organizations (DCIOs) and DoD counterintelligence
activities. It also supports safety investigations and Inspector General
and commander-directed inquiries. DC3 aids in meeting intelligence community
document exploitation objectives from a criminal law enforcement forensics
and counterintelligence perspective. DC3 provides computer investigation
training to forensic examiners, investigators, system administrators, and
any other DoD members who must ensure Defense information systems are secure
from unauthorized use, criminal and fraudulent activities, and foreign
intelligence service exploitation. DC3 remains on the leading edge of computer
technologies and techniques through research, development, testing, and
evaluation applied to digital evidence processing and computer forensic
analysis; and by partnering with governmental, academic, and private industry
computer security officials.
