“Because It’s Friday” has a goal:
“After a week of cyber security news we always try to ease you into the weekend with something lighter.”
But very occassionally we do get close to the core subject of Smart Thinking Solutions – cyber security – but hopefully in an entertaining way. Today is one of those Fridays.
Digital Forensics
Not the type of digital forensics your regularly see abused on TV, in such shows as NSIS, but the real-world type that I studied at Uni, are a significant tool in determining who did what, and when to whom. One of the most useful sources of digital forensics data for a small organisation that uses Microsoft 365 are the activity logs the system continually records for you.
You should check these are correctly configured on your M365.
Enough cyber security onto the fun stuff…
Robert Davies and Emily Chiang of Aston University have written an excellent article looking at how the plot of Richard Osman’s latest cosy crime novel shows how ChatGPT and other AI systems will have an impact on digital forensics.
We Solve Murders by Richard Osman demonstrates the impact of ChatGPT on forensic linguistics
The article is worth a read, I cannot yet vouch for “We Solve Murders”. However Diana and I have all four of Richard Osman’s “Thursday Murder Club” audiobooks for listening to on long car journeys. The first two are worth a read or listen, we have not got to the second two yet.
Another Gift Idea…
Following on from last week and thanks again to Vsauce, here is another gift idea:

Have a great weekend.
