DIGITAL FORENSIC SERVICES
Digital forensics is often necessary to understand what events recently transpired on a computer or Portable electronic devices such as a cell phone, tablet, or even gaming console. Sometimes users will attempt to hide or conceal illicit use of their devices while working on company time or try to hide information from their spouse — the usage of obfuscation technologies including encryption and privacy software that is often used by rogue employees as an effort to obscure their inappropriate activities.
Most employees leaving their company for a competitor can’t resist the urge to take client data, vendor supplier information, past quotations, employee information and more. This information is often used by the recently departed employee to steal clients, vendors, data models and employees away from their former employer. The intellectual property today often exists in digital form, and as such, tons of banker boxes worth of data can be copied in under an hour to a portable USB storage device that can be purchased for under thirty dollars.
Other questions that are often pursued during a computer forensics examination may include:
- What specific actions took place on a key date and time by the user?
- Did the user run or install programs that are designed to obfuscate or cover their tracks?
- What files were deleted by the user?
- Did the employee engage in bad faith and provide information to outside parties?
- Did the employee break the company policy regarding standards of acceptable computer usage?
- Is the document produced really as it appears or is it a forged electronic document?
- Did anyone else access the computer who may be trying to frame the suspect or perpetrator?
