Electronic Discovery v. Computer Forensics: The Differences You Need to Know
By Mary Mack, Esq. Director of Sales Engineering Fios, Inc.
With the rapid growth of electronic discovery, even well-informed lawyers and support teams are often
unclear about the differences between computer forensics and electronic discovery. The differing
processes of collecting and reviewing electronic data involve varying levels of technological
sophistication and data interpretation, and the choices you make about which services to use
depend on the matter at hand. While electronic discovery is needed vastly more often than
computer forensics, legal teams may use one or both services in particular matters.
The following article provides you the practical working knowledge you’ll need to
determine which discovery approach is best suited for your needs.

Protecting Employers through Proactive Computer Forensics
By Glen Hastings, Director of Business Development, OnlineSecurity
How often has this happened to you or your client? Six months after an individual leaves a
company, a lawsuit arises regarding that individual. It may be a wrongful termination
suit brought by an employee who was let go, or it could be a theft of intellectual

Regardless of the matter, internal documentation needs to be assembled and reviewed,
but there is a problem. The individual’s computer is either missing or is now being
used by someone else, and the evidence that was on the computer is no longer readily
accessible. Depending on what evidence was on the computer, this turn of events could
imperil the company’s chances of prevailing in the litigation, or at the least could
significantly raise their litigation costs. As is often the case in situations such

pound of cure, i.e. reactive evidence recovery.

The post Cold War era has witnessed the information revolution with its global saturation
of personal computing power. Previously unthinkable instant access to massive data warehouses
of information has transcended the business and intelligence communities and is now a staple
ingredient of the terrorist community. An important by-product of the Western world’s open
society is that it is not only open to the West, but to all those that are ‘plugged in’ to
its many portals of information flow.
