Presentation

During this presentation, the following topics will be covered:

Investigation Resources In The World Today

The internet and the content held within change at a faster rate than ever before.  New applications, legal ramifications, restricted access, AI, bots, fake accounts and just too much data to process are all issues today’s investigators need to navigate.  If that was not hard enough, we are asked and required to complete this without leaving a footprint, legally defensible and properly documented.  A simple screen shot just will not do. 

Join Keith Elliott, a thirty-year veteran in private investigations, in a session that will traverse the current state of investigations, resources and tools. 

This day of training will address some simple and often forgotten resources, addressing proper search protocols, and sifting through the fiction from fact.  We will explore;

• Search engines, know-how and short cuts, such as Google dorking and alerts
• Investigator safety, how to see but not be seen.
• Protect yourself online with the use of sock puppets and VPN’s.
• Current state of social media, what’s available and how to access, amidst lawsuits, privacy issues and the changing habits of online users.
• AI driven problems and deep fakes.
• Dark web, and some surface level tools.
• Surveillance and Intelligence gathering.

We will explore these many elements as we walk through the process of an investigation for a typical file utilizing these resources. 

This session is targeted toward mid to advanced level knowledge, with the hope that we can all learn something new or benefit from a refresher.
