ABSTRACT:

Electronic discovery known as e-discovery, refers to any process in which electronic data is sought, located, secured and searched with the intent of using it as evidence in a civil or criminal legal case. E-discovery can be carried out offline on a particular computer or it can be conducted on a network. In e-discovery, data of all types can serve as evidence. This can include text, images, calendar files, databases, spreadsheets, audio files, animation, Web sites, and computer programs. Even malware such as viruses, Trojans and spyware can be secured and investigated.

This e-book is an original, independently-produced editorial product that was researched, written and published exclusively by and for SearchWinIT.com.
