Internet Investigation Tradecraft
A comprehensive 3 Day Workshop designed to give delegates the skills and knowledge required to perform an Internet Investigation or Intelligence Operation
The ability to identify and retrieve relevant and timely information, intelligence or evidence from the Internet and Open Sources has become a routine necessity for Investigators. However, the structure and size of the Internet presents many challenges for Researchers, Analysts and Investigators. A lack of understanding about the nature and workings of the Internet can mean intelligence or evidence opportunities being lost, or investigations compromised.
