The use of computers in everyday life has increased productivity both at home and in the work place. However, our reliance on technology has also allowed computers to become a tool for malicious intent.

Computers and information technology has introduced new types of offenses (such as employee harassment, computer intrusions and denial of service attacks by computer hackers), as well as adding new dimensions to traditional criminal activities (intellectual property theft, corporate espionage, inappropriate use of corporate networks, network attacks by insiders, etc.)

Time is of the essence when there is misconduct by business insiders, customers, competitors or outsiders. Electronic "audit trails" sometimes evaporate in minutes. Getting the data needed to manage and investigate critical incidents requires a special set of skills. Preserving that data and ensuring that it is not "tainted" while being gathered requires the experience of Gettier Security.
