Akibia Introduces Digital Forensic Services

Akibia’s Digital Forensic Services help organizations identify and obtain digital evidence of improper use of corporate systems and unauthorized access of sensitive data and intellectual property.

With concerns over protecting corporate reputation and customer data at an all time high, organizations must be diligent in identifying and routing out improper use of corporate information and systems. These threats can include improper use of Internet access; exposing customer data and personal information through improper channels; data leakage; system infection and malicious use of corporate data and intellectual property for personal benefits and financial gain. Companies are often required to conduct digital forensic investigations that evaluate the nature of a potential security breach, determine the impact on the organization, and provide evidence, thereof, if necessary.

Digital forensic investigations demand a specialized expertise that Akibia is able to provide. Akibia’s security team has significant experience helping organizations develop a complete security framework and implementing critical security applications that reduce risks. As a result, the team brings broad expertise to digital forensic investigations which require in-depth knowledge of the various systems within a client’s IT infrastructure environment.
