We hope to see everyone starting at 6:15 PM so we can have a few minutes to catch up with everyone, and then the presentation will start at 6:45 PM.The July presentation is "Data forensics - A look at the future" by Kirby Laye. 

This presentation will look at the fascinating field of data forensics. It will cover such topics as who the clients of forensic examiners are, what can be examined, how an examination is performed, and how you can get started in the forensic field. It will delve into the differences between evidence and hearsay and the differences between examiners and investigators. It will look at the data that can be recovered and the devices that can be searched. Then a brief overview of the steps involved in a forensic examination from collection of the data, recovery of erased, hidden, or encrypted files, to reporting your findings to the client. It will conclude with a look at how to jump start your career in the field of data forensics and some of the business ramifications of starting a forensic practice. Information is the commodity of the future and with its increasing value there is a growing need to protect it. When these measures fail clients want to know what happened and who the
 perpetrators were. This is the field of data forensics. Within the near future all companies with an IT department will have forensic specialist on staff.
