Computer Forensics

Computer forensics involves scientific investigation and analysis techniques to examine left-behind data for the purpose of determining legal evidence.  Computer forensic experts use defensible processes to capture computer system data, and recover deleted, encrypted, or damaged file information.  Intelligent Computer Forensics handles every case with the same professionalism, intensity and rigor.  In most cases, the evidence can be gathered quickly with minimal disruption to the operational process of the organization.

Computer forensic techniques are frequently used in legal cases to analyze computer systems belonging to defendants [in criminal cases] or litigants [in civil cases]. Applications include the examination of deleted emails, computer crime or misuse, theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, and fraud.  Evidence gathered can help your side to take appropriate action based on facts, helping to settle out of court or win the case.

Companies rely on computer forensic scientists to provide computer forensic analysis to support Human Resources or IT areas.  Intelligent Computer Forensics will gather evidence when an employee corrective action or termination situation has developed, recover data in the event of hardware or software failure, and analyze a computer system after a break-in.  In the case of a network break-in, Intelligent Computer Forensics can determine how the attacker gained access and what the attacker did while in the system.  Thorough this process Intelligent Computer Forensics experts will gain helpful information about how the computer systems work for the purpose of debugging, performance optimization, or reverse-engineering.
