Manes, President and Founder of Oklahoma Digital Forensics Professionals, Inc. will be presenting "Comparing Civil & Criminal Digital Forensics" at the 2008 Computer Forensics Show.  This years show will take place at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC from April 20th to April 22nd. 

The Computer Forensics Show will focus on topics of interest to legal and risk management professionals and will address the key issues that relate to what they need to know about the industry, and how computer forensics can help drive revenue for their practice.

Like it or not, every computer is a potential crime scene and must be treated with care. When companies need to conduct internal investigations—especially those involving litigation—discovering and maintaining evidence becomes paramount.

For some companies, it is not a question if one of their computers will be used as evidence in a legal matter; it is a question of when.

No longer can parties or their counsel claim to be unaware of digital data. Instead, judges are expecting e-savvy litigators in their courtrooms.

Today’s business environment continues to become more and more complex - with strict regulatory and compliance requirements, increased scrutiny and the ever-present threat of litigation. Because the majority of information today is created and available only in an electronic format, electronic data and the ability to properly address it in a defensible manner are increasingly critical to the legal process. These services are vital to any individual, company, or law practice with cases that deal with sensitive information stored on digital media.
