Using actual data-breach cases, one of Verizon Business’ top forensic experts will explain how hackers try to cover their tracks, and how investigators combat these tricks and unmask the hackers.
Novak, a top forensic expert with Verizon Business, will discuss one of the hottest hacker trends — anti-forensics — which is an attempt to deliberately compromise the integrity of a crime scene, making forensic analysis after the fact difficult or impossible. Hackers use anti-forensic tools and techniques to hide evidence of their identity, source, or actions—anything that could lead to their exposure and subsequent capture.

WHO: Chris Novak, a top forensic expert with Verizon Business, will revisit his popular 2008 RSA presentation, “How Criminals Manipulate Anti-Forensics to Foil the Crime Scene.”
The Verizon Business Forensics and Investigative Response team regularly sees anti-forensic techniques used in data compromises. According to Novak, anti-forensic tools are used in approximately two out of every three cases investigated.
In this webinar, participants will learn how to:
- Recognize the changing landscape of computer forensics.
- Identify whether new hacker methods are or were at play within forensic cases.
- Discern various anti-forensic measures and build appropriate detection mechanisms or proactive defenses.
- Choose the appropriate reactive means for handling various anti-forensic measures.
- Evolve practice of forensics to better handle potential future anti-forensic measures.
Additionally, Novak will highlight how anti-forensic techniques have advanced in the last year, previewing the 2009 Data Breach Investigations Report, to be issued April 15.
