Free i-Sight Webinar Focuses on Using Deep Web Searches During Investigations

September 18, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – There's a wealth of information in the deep web that's hidden from traditional search engines. This "hidden" information might include the valuable evidence investigators need to build a strong case.

To find out more about how to search the deep web to get the information you need in an investigation, join us for a free webinar on Tuesday September 25th at 2pm EDT. The 60-minute webinar will be led by online investigation expert Cynthia Hetherington, MLS, MSM, CFE.

During the webinar, Hetherington will dive into:

  • Mistakes security professionals and investigators make when investigating in these new media
  • What information investigators are missing
  • Where investigators are exposing themselves
  • How to investigate discreetly online

  • "In today's investigative world, we're seeing every investigation having some sort of online component," says Hetherington. "But Google only covers one per cent of what's available on the internet. Investigative analysts know that and can conduct much more focused searches. They can tap the 'invisible web', or deep web sources, including public records and hidden networks. Using these searches, they can uncover information and connections that are otherwise difficult to find."

    "In order for investigators to get the most out of the web, they need to know where to look," says Joe Gerard, VP of Sales and Marketing at i-Sight. "As a provider of case management software for investigations, we are committed to helping investigators resolve their cases. We are really looking forward to this webinar with Cynthia and learning more about the various tools investigators can use to get the information they need and make their jobs easier."
