Message from Michael G. Kessler

"Just as the Internet has opened new doors of opportunity forbusiness, it has opened the floodgate to crime and abuse.Studies show that more than 75% of computer systems used byFortune 500 companies have recorded some form of unauthorizeduse, and the FBI estimates losses from cybercrimes at more than$10 billion per year. The individuals who commit computercrimes are very sophisticated, but we make it our business tostay several steps ahead of them."

- Michael G. KesslerPresident & CEO, Kessler International

As high-tech crime continues to proliferate, electronic evidence is becoming an increas-ingly crucial factor in convicting suspected lawbreakers. A single kilobyte of data can bethe difference between freedom and a prison cell.

On-Site Acquisition

In more simple times, most break-ins and security

breaches involved some sort of physical capering, and

an effective alarm system was usually enough to

keep business owners satisfied. These days, however,

burglaries are often committed from remote locations

in complete silence, as thieves and hackers pillage

unprotected computer systems. Making matters worse is

the sheer difficulty in finding the offenders, acquiring

pertinent evidence, and of course, preventing future

unauthorized access.

Kessler International's computer crime experts specialize in detecting high-tech security

breaches that can damage or destroy your data. Employing the latest technology, our

team will uncover all the dirty details, locate those responsible and gather the evidence

needed to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. And if you want to keep

bandits away from your files permanently, our experienced team can help you prepare a

targeted prevention strategy that will secure your systems and give you the freedom you

need to operate your business effectively.

Many organizations have suspicions of illicit internal

activity, but few know where to begin looking for

evidence, especially in today's sophisticated business

environment. Thoroughly searching computer systems

for evidence of wrongdoing is a good place to start, but

many individuals have no idea what to look for, much less

where and how to find it.

The skilled investigators at Kessler International routinely

perform electronic document discovery, digging up

pertinent data through careful examination of computer

systems. Incriminating files that were once deleted

can be recovered and produced as evidence, and

because we adhere to strict guidelines, you can

rest assured that any information we provide will be

admissible in a court of law.

Up until the recent boom in technology, security wasgenerally a matter of locking up the office, keepingvaluables sealed in a safe, and perhaps hiring a guardto watch over the building at night. These days, however,complicated computer systems safeguard your assets,and access is almost always managed through complexpasswords. While this method is usually fairly secure,passwords can be lost, forgotten, changed or even stolen,and you may no longer be able to access critical systemsand information.

But all is not lost… Kessler's team of computer forensicsspecialists can recover passwords that you thoughtwere gone for good, allowing you to regain control of yourimportant data. In addition, we'll go the extra mile andassist you in devising password strategies and othersecurity measures so that you'll never be faced with asimilar situation.

One of the most alluring aspects of the Internet is the amazing level ofanonymity it affords. Unfortunately, thisalso allows many potentially dangerousindividuals to wreak havoc onlinewithout fear of being discovered.Cyberstalking, annoying or harassingemails, junk mail flooding, viruses andpersonal threats make many victims'lives miserable, and aside from filing acomplaint with their Internet provider,there's usually not much they can do.

Fortunately, we know how to track down cyber-terrorists and put an end to their high-techharassment. By utilizing advanced email tracing software and techniques, our computerforensics team can find out who is responsible for the torment and bring them to justice.

Kessler International will help you obtain the evidence you need, using time-testedprocedures to ensure the integrity of the information.

While email and the Internet may provide your businesswith unprecedented levels of communication and marketoutreach, it can also leave your company wide opento modern risks. For instance, your company is legallyliable for all electronic correspondence sent throughyour system, including email, instant messages, webpostings and more. In addition, unchecked employeesmay distribute confidential or proprietary files through theInternet, or put your company in jeopardy by accessingillegal content.

Kessler International understands the numerous risks thatcorporations face, and our computer forensics expertscan help you control your level of susceptibility and avoidcostly lawsuits. We'll help you develop procedures thatwill hold employees responsible for the information theytransmit, reduce abuse of company systems, and preventthe loss of intellectual property and trade secrets.

Sometimes, piecing together a case can be extremelydifficult… acquiring evidence, presenting information in the rightfashion and locating credible witnesses may turnout to be tougher tasks than you expect. And whencomputers are introduced to the mix, things often becomeconsiderably more challenging. Evidence obtained fromcomputer systems can be easily corrupted, and must begathered in an extremely precise, controlled fashion to beadmissible in court. In addition, such evidence often needsto be supported by expert witnesses that can explain anddemonstrate complicated technical issues.

In today’s technology-driven society, computers are the backboneof almost every business.
