The COVID-19 pandemic forced many organizations to revisit their approach to investigations. In recent months, investigators have been dealing with challenges in identifying, preserving, and reviewing data, holding remote interviews and collaborating from their homes.
Join this webcast for best practices and lessons learned for investigations, designed to help attendees consider how they may want – or need – to change their approach to investigations in order to be ready for whatever the future may hold.
Speakers Michele Wiener and Michael Zimmern will provide practical observations from previous experiences conducting remote investigations and discuss some of the possible implications for investigations in the future. They will also:
- Assess existing remote investigations capability and incorporate best practices.
- Discuss considerations for integrating remote and traditional investigations practices.
- Explain some of the ways technology and data are changing investigations.
