Investigations and experience have proven that nearly every school district in the country has at least one staff member or student downloading inappropriate or illegal pornographic images on school issued computers.  This is your opportunity to learn how to collect the evidence you need to suspend, terminate, or even prosecute the violators in your school district. Former FCMAT Management Analyst, Phil Scrivano will demonstrate Lightspeed’s suspicious traffic reports, Human Resources reports, and forensics tools for capturing hard drive information to be used as evidence. There are forensic tools available today that enable the network administrator to view all picture and information on a computer on the same subnet in less than fifteen minutes. Attendees will receive a Helix Forensics Tools boot disc.
