Ask Me Anything: Running faster, defensible internal investigations with digital forensics

*Please note that this event will took place over Zoom.

From HR matters and policy violations to insider threats, fraud, and IP theft, internal investigations move fast and leave no margin for error. With employee activity spread across corporate endpoints, BYOD devices, cloud platforms, and collaboration tools, investigative teams are under pressure to surface what matters quickly while preserving defensibility, privacy, and chain of custody.

In this Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with Jeff Rutherford, former FBI Special Agent, and Tarah Ward, digital forensics examiner with a background in the US Federal Government, supporting agencies focused on counterterrorism, cyber defense, and incident response, Jeff and Tarah answered your questions around how digital forensics helps teams:

1. 1. Triage allegations quickly with targeted remote collections and early case assessment
   2. Investigate across almost any data source: endpoints, mobile devices, cloud apps, and collaboration tools
   3. Recover deleted, hidden, or obfuscated data that non-forensics data review solutions often miss
   4. Preserve metadata and chain of custody to maintain defensibility
   5. Balance investigative depth with employee privacy and policy obligations
   6. Streamline reporting for HR, legal, and executive stakeholders
