Description

Electronic evidence plays a critical role in most cases. Frequently, relevant evidence is now found in the cloud and not on a local computer, server, or external hard drive. Businesses and consumers are using cloud services more than ever. Microsoft 365 has taken over the business world. Third-party messaging apps such as Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp continue to flourish. The cloud is now – and will remain – a potential evidence goldmine for litigators.

Understanding the “how-to” of cloud-based electronic evidence lays the foundation for you to competently guide clients through the process of retaining and using a digital forensics expert, including understanding what may or may not be recoverable.

Our presenter will cover:

  • The basics of cloud forensics, including costs
  • Cloud storage buckets
  • Webmail such as Google Mail, Hotmail, and Yahoo
  • Social media preservation and analysis
  • Secure file storage – Dropbox, Box, GoogleDrive, SharePoint
  • Amazon Ring and other IoT (Internet of Things) devices including cars, thermostats, refrigerators, smart TVs, etc. and the information they may store
