Digital Forensics and Investigations People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise

Digital Forensics and Investigations People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise

Digital forensics has been a discipline of Information Security for decades now. Its principles methodologies and techniques have remained consistent despite the evolution of technology and ultimately it and can be applied to any form of digital data. However within a corporate environment digital forensic professionals are particularly challenged. They must maintain the legal admissibility and forensic viability of digital evidence in support of a broad range of different business functions that include incident response electronic discovery (ediscovery) and ensuring the controls and accountability of such information across networks. Digital Forensics and Investigations: People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise provides the methodologies and strategies necessary for these key business functions to seamlessly integrate digital forensic capabilities to guarantee the admissibility and integrity of digital evidence. In many books the focus on digital evidence is primarily in the technical software and investigative elements of which there are numerous publications. What tends to get overlooked are the people and process elements within the organization. Taking a step back the book outlines the importance of integrating and accounting for the people process and technology components of digital forensics. In essence to establish a holistic paradigm—and best-practice procedure and policy approach—to defending the enterprise. This book serves as a roadmap for professionals to successfully integrate an organization’s people process and technology with other key business functions in an enterprise’s digital forensic capabilities. | Digital Forensics and Investigations People Process and Technologies to Defend the Enterprise

Information Technology and Organizational Learning Managing Behavioral Change in the Digital Age

Information Technology and Organizational Learning Managing Behavioral Change in the Digital Age

Because digital and information technology (IT) has become a more significant part of strategic advantage and workplace operations information systems personnel have become key to the success of corporate enterprises particularly with the pursuit of becoming more digital. This book focuses on the vital role that technology must play in the course of organizational development and learning and on the growing need to integrate technology particularly digital technology fully into the culture of all organizations. Fundamentally this fourth edition takes an even stronger position than the previous editions that organizational learning is crucial to the success of what has been coined digital transformation. Companies are struggling to understand what it means to be digital. Their technology personnel go far beyond the traditional IT staff into areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NL). These three functions now fall under the auspices of data science which is now at the center of allowing companies to become more data dominant as is necessary for survival. While traditional IT personnel have long been criticized for their inability to function as part of the business they are now vital to assist in the leadership of digital transformation. It could be a costly error to underestimate the technical skills needed by IT staff to ensure successful digital transformation. In fact subsequent chapters will highlight the technical challenges needed to build new architectures based on 5G blockchain cloud computing and eventually quantum processing. The challenge then is to integrate business and technical IT staff via cultural assimilation and to strategically integrate advanced computing architectures. This fourth edition includes new topics such as the future of work that addresses the challenges of assimilating multiple generations of employees and how to establish working cultures that are more resilient and adaptive and can be configured as a platform driven by data assets. | Information Technology and Organizational Learning Managing Behavioral Change in the Digital Age

Digital Forensic Art Techniques A Professional’s Guide to Corel Painter

Digital Forensic Art Techniques A Professional’s Guide to Corel Painter

Digital Forensic Art Techniques: A Professional’s Guide to Corel PainterTM illustrates hands-on techniques to digitally create forensic art for police and investigative purposes. Coverage focuses specifically on how to utilize the software to create realistic human likenesses including composites of suspects and drawings of persons in unidentified remains cases. Drawing digitally is like using any tool in art: a pencil a charcoal stick a conte’ crayon. A stylus is just another tool to master. Digital work is easier for artists to send to the case detective and the work always reproduces exactly as it was completed. Another benefit to working digitally is that one can use video conferencing with a witness online to provide services remotely world-wide. This enables police departments who have never had access to a forensic artist to have a sketch done within hours of the crime. Chapters address the more basic functions to serve as a primer for those transitioning to working digitally. There is also instruction on light and shadow and bones and muscles of the skull. All of the discussion is intended to make the reader see things as an artist to improve drawing skills and overall digital techniques. In short Digital Forensic Art Techniques is a practical easy-to-follow manual for working forensic artists that will give readers a solid base from which to start. It serves as an essential resource to greater skill and comfort with the hardware and software thus furthering current best practices and technological advances in the field. | Digital Forensic Art Techniques A Professional’s Guide to Corel Painter
