As anyone reading the newspaper can see, it is clear that even the most sophisticated companies that use firewalls and anitvirus software are still victimized by computer crime. We have extensive experience with computer intrusions and can impart our insights to the benefit of our clients. Using some of the most sophisticated tools in the industry, including SilentRunner and Encase software, we can reveal the presence of hidden problems on a computer network.

The highly publicized recent intrusion of Microsoft's protected systems shows that even these large software providers are vulnerable to having their systems penetrated; however, these giants of the industry can quickly throw immense technical help and resources to solve the problem.
