Silicon Valley Chapter Meeting - IoT Forensics: Where the Internet of Things and Digital Evidence Intersect

IoT Forensics: Where the Internet of Things and Digital Evidence Intersect

Gartner predicts that by 2020 there will be more than 20 billion connected "things," not including smartphones, in the world. That's 20 billion things collecting data, 20 billion potential "technological witnesses.” How does this impact forensics, discovery and investigations? Where is the data stored and how can it be obtained? How do you determine what's relevant and help attorneys, investigators or operational personnel to see where the data fits into the larger context of their efforts? In this presentation we will discuss data that can be recovered from the Internet of Things and how this data has been used in investigations and court cases.
