Summary:

Electronic discovery refers to a process in which electronic data is sought, located, secured, and searched with the intent of using it as evidence in a legal case. Computer forensics is the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques to perform an investigation to find out exactly what happened on a computer and who was responsible. IDC estimates that the U.S. market for computer forensics will be grow from 252 million in 2004 to 630 million by 2009. Business is strong outside the United States, as well. By 2011, the estimated international market will be 1.8 billion doll
