Corporate Fraud is alive and well -- and so is the business of investigating it.
Joe Anastasi, author of The New Forensics: Investigating Corporate Fraud and the Theft of Intellectual Property, will share his insights into his investigations of white-collar crime and cybercrime. Via business forensics, vignettes, and actual crime reports, Anastasi will describe how digital detectives use sophisticated tools, such as "adaptive pattern-recognition software" (spawned from NSA and CIA predecessor applications), to shine the light on such shady dealings as the theft of trade secrets and money laundering. Anastasi will also cover the use of data mining as an investigative tool, and the use of sophisticated anomaly-detection software to ferret out fraud.
