Workshop Overview

Packet data interception presents enriched investigation opportunities to law enforcement agents yet at the same time poses a myriad of challenges on technological, methodological and legal levels. The "good old days" of phone tapping alone are long gone and today's packet data world is far more complicated. This one day workshop is designed for investigators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the solutions available in packet data interception, in understanding emerging legislation in this field in the US and abroad, and hearing of examples of solutions being implemented around the world. The workshop brings together experts in all of these areas. 

Who Should Attend? 

• LEAs who have to deal with packet data evidence gathering
• Prosecutors who must deal with presenting packet data evidence to a jury
• Federal Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agents that have to deal with Cyber Crime investigations 
• And other Justice Officials who must deal with packet data evidence
