A report by Symantec confirms that “Cybercrime has surpassed illegal trafficking as the leading criminal money maker.” With lucrative returns, low risk and difficulty of providing admissible evidence in courts of law, computer and networks become the fastest growing technology tools favored by criminals. With the cost of security breaches almost tripling every two years, organizations need to designate well-trained security professionals to perform digital discovery, evidence acquisition and analysis in an acceptable manner to ensure that they trace, reduce or eliminate key security risks that face their organizations.
Electronic evidence is critical in the following situations:
• Disloyal employees • Computer break-ins • Possession of pornography • Breach of contract • Industrial espionage • E-mail Fraud • Bankruptcy • Disputed dismissals • Web page defacements • Theft of company documents
Computer forensics enables the systematic and careful identification of evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases. This may range from tracing the tracks of a hacker through a client’s systems, to tracing the originator of defamatory emails, to recovering signs of fraud.
