Speaker: John Troxel, Computer Forensics
- Emails have information that is typically not seen but available.
- Everything you do on a computer is detectable. The evidence is there!
- Most of us don’t really know how a computer works; we just use one.
- Many times, the hard drive is the only place evidence exists
- Evidence may also exists on GPS, cell phones, cameras, iPods, iPads.
- Cloud computing maintains information off the hard drive.
- The computer has a master file table that is like an index about where information is stored on a hard drive.
- Time is of the essence as information is overwritten.
- Stats:
- 95% of information never gets printed
- Employees spend an average of 75 minutes a day on non-work activities
- 705 of all internet porn is consumed during the work day
- 825 of e-crimes are by employees
-
Computer forensics is focused on data that is evidence. It’s different than electronic forensics.
-
Keep the computer static – do not open, close, search, or change it in any way if you need to retrieve data from it.
-
Key Advice:
-
Secure your network
-
Don’t reuse a hard drive immediately when an employee is terminated
-
think about hard drives of copy machines
-
Use a wiping program if donating a computer
