Akibia's Digital Forensic Services help organizations identify and obtain digital evidence of improper use of corporate systems and unauthorized access of sensitive data and intellectual property.
With concerns over protecting corporate reputation and customer data at an all time high, organizations must be diligent in identifying and routing out improper use of corporate information and systems. Internal threats to intellectual property and intentional or accidental misuse of data by employees are key concerns. These threats can include improper use of Internet access; exposing customer data and personal information through improper channels; data leakage; system infection and malicious use of corporate data and intellectual property for personal benefits and financial gain. As a result companies are often required to conduct digital forensic investigations that evaluate the nature of a potential security breach, determine the impact on the organization, and provide evidence, thereof, if necessary.

Akibia's security team has significant experience helping organizations develop a complete security framework and implementing critical security applications that reduce risks.
