Scott Moulton
Instructor Certified Computer Forensic Specialist,
Forensic Strategy Services, LLC
In the emerging field of computer forensics, few people have the expertise to understand not only how to recover missing or corrupted information from computer equipment and other media, but also how to administer painstaking precautions so the recovered evidence remains applicable in an audit or admissible in court. Scott Moulton, president of Forensic Strategy Services, LLC, is one of those experts.
In his more than 20-year career working with computers, Mr. Moulton has been responsible for data backup, network and server support, data recovery and backup protection. He is skilled in recovering deleted information useful as legal proof, researching cases and providing the technical knowledge and support attorneys need to settle cases favorably. He has worked with certified fraud examiners and forensic accountants. He has given depositions, testified, and investigated many complex cases involving homicide, embezzlement, theft, divorce, child pornography and corporate fraud, among others.
Mr. Moulton is also a partner in Network Installation Computer Services, Inc. and a database development company, OP5 Technologies. Although they are independent businesses, both companies provide resources Mr. Moulton can call upon to develop custom applications to support his forensic cases. He finds the partnership of several businesses hones his ability to multitask and forces him to stay abreast of all new developments in computer forensics, security and data recovery. As a consequence, virtually no explains computer forensics better than Scott Moulton.
With a deft blend of high-tech FLASH and true crime stories, Mr. Moulton's presentations are always lively and informative. He demonstrates how computer forensics works to recover seemingly lost evidence that can help establish guilt — or innocence — without a shadow of doubt.
