Computer Forensics - From the Class Room to the Cleanroom
The science of computer forensics plays an enormous role in today's
digital world, particularly in the legal realm where every case involves
electronic documents stored on myriad types of media. Criminals may
believe they are too savvy to get caught, but computer forensic experts
can often find evidence of misconduct (or innocence) that appears to be
undetectable. Come join Chris Andrews, computer forensics expert for
Kroll Ontrack, to hear how your classroom studies could take you to the
cleanroom. Chris will lead a discussion on computer forensics best
practices, walk through a real case study where computer forensic
evidence helped solve the case, and finish up with Q & A time.
