NetSecurity launches forensics facility

STERLING, Va., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Virginia-based NetSecurity Corp. announced the launch of a new secure forensics investigation facility, NetSecurity Forensic Labs.

NetSecurity is a digital forensics, security consulting and training company. With the launch of NetSecurity Forensic Labs, company officials are making an effort to address the growing presence of cybercrimes by offering a secure computer forensics investigation facility capable of electronic discovery, incident response and forensics training.

"Evidence obtained from computers, PDAs (personal digital assistants), cell phones, and other electronic media is having a greater impact on both civil and criminal investigations more than ever before," Inno Eroraha, NetSecurity founder and chief strategist, said in a statement.

"It is imperative that evidence be collected by trained computer forensic experts that follow forensically sound processes to ensure that the resulting digital evidence withstands legal scrutiny in court. This is where NetSecurity Forensic Labs comes into play. Our state-of-the-art forensic lab is equipped with tools and technologies to excavate digital evidence from the latest or most antiquated storage devices to produce admissible evidence."

Company officials say as a result of the time-consuming nature of forensic investigation that requires specialized expertise in order to ensure evidence is admissible by judges, NetSecurity Forensic Labs is an effort to offer law firms and law enforcement agencies along with public and private companies greater tools for investigation of computer crimes.
