During the last few years Computer Forensics technologies have been booming. Better processes, deep research, new techniques and innovative tools have made it possible for organizations and Law Enforcement to (somewhat) keep up with the ever increasing wave of sophisticated cyber-crime. 

In this session Jess Garcia will present the latest trends in computer crime and how the latest developments in Computer Forensics can help your organization investigate such events, mitigate their impact and (sometimes) catch the offenders. Walking through a set of real life case studies Jess will introduce and demonstrate a wide variety of tools and techniques, putting them in the context of the overall Forensics Process.
