Computer Forensics + CI = ? - Competitive Intelligence2024-03-29T06:58:50Zhttps://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/forum/topics/computer-forensics-ci?commentId=2036441%3AComment%3A43276&feed=yes&xn_auth=noMatt,

<p>Matt,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Honestly, if you are looking to get corporate clients, competitive intelligence units are probably not the place to go. I would target the IT and corporate security/investigations departments, who might outsource jobs to you. That is where the real need is. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would also suggest marketing yourself as a subcontractor to certified fraud examiners and other corporate investigation firms.</p>

<p>Ellen, I do not know her personally but I have a book that she has written. You are right about what you said. This may sound un-professional but if you could send her my way or some of my information her way that would be great. I would also like to send you a packet of information on my services if that would be possible.</p>

<p>Tripp and James - Yes I can extract an image off of a photocopier,but it is not something I have done a lot of though. There are a lot of legal issues that involve computer forensics. Taking a hard drive and using it to grab CI would be a great way of finding good intell. Would it be the most ethical or legal way of doing it? Not really. I just finished up a case where a woman was claiming to have mistakenly copy client price lists and edit them on her home computer - After four months of going through her personal and business computer, my brother and I found that she was using the information to start her own consulting company. She was smart, but she got to laxed after a year.</p>

<p>For all three of you, what do you have any ideas of maybe how to market computer forensics to the corporate sector? That is one of the major things I have struggled with over the passed few months is really reaching out there to show what valueble information or forcasting can be done with a look into damamaged hardware and such. Thanks again for your replies!!</p>

I don't have a good answer for CI and computer forensics, except to say that it has to be a growing business and that it is also fraught with ethical issues.

Do you mean analysing competitors' hardware? That could yield a lot of information, but I imagine there would be issues about how to obtain that hardware. Even if it's discarded/sold by the competitor, that may not mean that it's then acceptable to analyse any data that the hardware contains.<br/>

<p>Digital forensics is a great business to be in right now; especially for mobile devices, which I hear is really booming. </p>
<p>Can you extract images from a photocopier hard drive?</p>
