Computer Forensics

Data security breeches and cyber attacks have become more frequent and many companies have found themselves under fire, despite taking stringent security measures. Part of the problem is the apparent shortage of specialized technologists with a working knowledge of computer forensics. QuattroV has a Computer Forensics specialist who has been training to become fully certified in this field.

Computer Forensics is the application of computer investigation & analysis techniques with the objective of determining potential legal evidence. Specialists can use various methods for discovering data that resides in the computer system or recovering deleted, encrypted or damaged file information. Special care must be taken when handling a suspect's files; dangers to the evidence include viruses, electromagnetic or mechanical damage and even booby traps. All or part of this information may help during various stages of the legal proceedings.

Computer Forensic investigations can be necessary for a variety of reasons:

• Unauthorized Disclosure of Corporate Information & Data
  (both intentional & accidental)
• Industrial Espionage
• Damage Assessment (following an incident)
• More General Criminal Cases
• Employee Internet Abuse

The specialist will identify, collect, examine, analyze and present the evidence which is magnetically stored or enclosed.
