My colleague Kathryn Bird and I presented today at the HRPA 2011 conference on “Investigating Computer System Abuse – Help for HR.” It was our aim to help human resources professionals charged with investigating computer-related misconduct to identify issues, ask proper questions of internal IT and know when to get professional IT forensics and legal help. We covered investigation basics, sources of digital evidence, preservation best practices, interview tips and managing the investigation record. Big thanks to Kevin Lo of Froese Forensics for reflecting on some of our ideas over beers. Slides are below.
