New presentation on preservation of digital information

Yet another terrific presentation has been added to the program. Scroll down to "Applications for Preservation and Production in our Digital World" by Gavin W. Manes, Ph.D. Here is Dr. Manes' abstract...

This presentation is an overview of the preservation and production requirements for electronically stored information. Specifically, this presentation discusses laws, rules and regulations which apply to all companies and agencies, and how these companies can apply state of the art digital forensics processes to preserve, redact, and produce electronically stored information.
This presentation covers several topics including: location of digital evidence, acquisition and examination of the electronic information, existing uses for digital evidence, and the development of proper plans and procedures for preservation and production of all digital information.
It is important to make all professionals aware of the possibilities for evidence acquisition available through digital forensics and electronic discovery. In particular all professionals should know how these tools can be used as allowed by the Freedom of Information Act, current case law, and the 2006 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
