Investigating Computer-Based Crimes

Sophisticated crimes such as fraud and information theft often involve the use of a computer, or computer media. For a security manager investigating a case of employee misconduct where a computer is involved it is extremely easy to miss crucial evidence or to render evidence inadmissible, if some basic first response principles aren’t followed closely.

ARC Training has teamed up with Data Genetics International, a specialist computer forensic and technical investigation organisation, to deliver a course designed to help security managers avoid the pitfalls of investigating computer evidence.

Emphasis is placed on interactive, realistic training where attendees, working in teams, are required to investigate a number of cases that are based on real incidents.

The course runs from 24-25 January 2008, and includes a scenario-based exercise. The programme is led by subject-matter expert, author and broadcaster, Ed Wilding.
