Computer Forensics

If the information is anywhere to be found, we will find it.


Managing, organizing and collecting large volumes of data from multiple sources in various locations can be time-consuming. It requires skill and experience to be done efficiently, effectively and in a legally defensible manner. It is important that all collections are comprehensive – maintaining the content integrity and preserving its form. Proper forensic collection of data is important to ensure accurate, efficient, and cost-effective responses to any e-discovery request.

 

SALIX’s commitment to the most up-to-date technologies and employing a highly qualified team of experts ensures that the data collection process is thorough, accurate, and legal defensible. While maintaining a strict chain of custody, SALIX is able to use computer forensics, such as archival media restoration, data recovery, and forensic hard drive imaging to uncover pertinent data that others might miss.

Why is Forensic Collection Important for Your Case?

 

  • Nearly every incident involving misconduct, diversion of intellectual assets, security breaches, or internal corporate compliance violations contains a digital trail that can be recovered and used to determine key facts of the incident. Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is almost always the critical evidence at the center of almost all business disputes.  Computer Forensics is the art and science of applying both highly advanced forensic software and hardware and years of experience to the process of locating, preserving, authenticating and producing electronic evidence.

 

  • The integrity of your case and a just outcome requires consideration of the electronic evidence, and how this compelling data can bring clarity to even the most complex issues.

 

  • When you need to be confident that the data and analysis is correct. When you need an expert witness that can credibly testify about the data.

 

  • The Data You Need is Electronic
    • Data proliferation refers to the prodigious amount of data that organizations generate at an unprecedented rate and the usability problems that result from attempting to store and manage that data. While originally pertaining to problems associated with paper documentation, data proliferation has become a major problem in primary and secondary data storage on computers.
    • There is a general perception that we are overwhelmed with data, making the ability to store, process, analyze, interpret, consume and act upon that data a primary concern. For large-scale, multi-national organizations and those in heavily regulated industries – such as finance, healthcare, or those covering multiple industry verticals – the situation becomes even more complex and challenging. With each new “smart” device adding to the ever-increasing flow of information created, the question then becomes: How do we collect that data and transform it into actionable information?
