These challenges have contributed to data deluge and forensics tool limitations in the digital forensics investigation. In this paper, a number of challenges faced by the digital forensics investigator in a big data environment are discussed. The identified challenges could significantly contribute to a more efficient digital forensics process in the big data environment.
