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

*Please note that this event will take place via Zoom.

Date: September 16, 2026

Time: 11:00AM ET

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.

Join us for a live, interactive 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.

This is your chance to ask questions directly to seasoned digital forensics experts and get practical guidance on running internal investigations from the earliest signal to final report.

Drawing on real-world experience and supporting Magnet Forensics customers with their investigations, Jeff and Tarah will answer your questions around how digital forensics helps teams:

    1. Triage allegations quickly with targeted remote collections and early case assessment

    1. Investigate across almost any data source: endpoints, mobile devices, cloud apps, and collaboration tools

    1. Recover deleted, hidden, or obfuscated data that non-forensics data review solutions often miss

    1. Preserve metadata and chain of custody to maintain defensibility

    1. Balance investigative depth with employee privacy and policy obligations

    1. Streamline reporting for HR, legal, and executive stakeholders

Bring your questions and find out how digital forensics can strengthen every stage of your internal investigations program!
