Unlocking Digital Clues: Navigating the Landscape of Digital Forensics
Today cybersecurity threats have become ubiquitous in business operations and daily life, and many now know to take some degree of precaution against phishing emails and public Wi-Fi networks. Yet despite increasing cybersecurity hygiene standards, cyber-attacks still occur every day, resulting in networks being breached, information being stolen, or systems being disrupted. Following such cyber events, determining what and how information was accessed is an integral part of legal cases. Digital forensics is the method used to conduct such technical investigations. Yet its capabilities are not limited to cyber events, as it can help support intellectual property cases, eDiscovery, criminal defense, or even data management disputes. This webinar provides attorneys litigating in this digital age an understanding of digital and computer forensics, which can support them in better communicating with experts, understanding the evidence, and protecting their clients’ interests.
