Sam presented a lecture as a keynote speaker at the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) conference in York, UK on 26th August 2010.  

Sam's talk introduced the field of computer forensics.  She will discuss how complex cases frequently involve the combination of thousands of pieces of technical evidence but still often need a sprinkle of investigative flair to solve them.  Within this, Sam will illustrate how ‘unbreakable’ security measures are often flawed due to user (and IT) misunderstanding, including how forensic techniques can be used to target implementation weaknesses.  She will also discuss why the dreaded IT policies should not gather dust in folders and what not to do when an incident occurs.

The seminar was intended for IT practitioners with an interest in computer forensics including those watching a little too much CSI!  It will be of particular interest to IT security personnel and a revelation for IT managers or anyone with a computer.  Wiper software not included!
