ICG Launches iThreat® First Response

ICG, Inc., the premier provider of intelligence threat management solutions (iThreat® Solutions), has launched a cost effective forensic capture offering for managing initial assessments of evidence on hard drives. Using both established and proprietary forensic tools and techniques, iThreat® First Response will extract critical information from deleted and partially overwritten files and other locations normally inaccessible or invisible to the user. For a low cost, clients will be able to determine if there is valuable data that can be retrieved and used as evidence.

"There is a tremendous need to provide litigators, litigation support managers and law firm technology directors with an efficient examination that follows all procedural requirements and helps their quest to bring superior services to their clients." said Kevin Leininger, president of ICG, Inc. "Once the evidence is recovered and analyzed for value, ICG is able to assist the legal professional with the discovery/subpoena process, maximizing the efficiency and success of the evidence collection." All of this is done within fixed timeframes and budgets.

As "cyber-crime" specialists, ICG offers timely, professional services leveraging cutting edge technology and techniques for the secure acquisition and analysis of a diverse range of electronic media, from targeted data sets to enterprise infrastructure and data storage. ICG has been retained in several thousand digital investigations, from traditional hard drive examinations to the capture, integration, and analysis of multi-terabyte eCommerce server farms. ICG offers a cost effective approach to providing excellent forensic capture and preservation services with full support of the validation protocols. Thus, ensuring the viability of the evidence.

"One aspect that makes ICG superior to other electronic evidence companies is our highly trained and case experienced staff," stated Jeff Bedser, Chief Operating Officer of ICG. "The expertise of ICG consultants ranges from domain experts, investigators, technology specialists, linguists who speak over 20 languages and several consultants on staff with courtroom testimony and deposition experience." Jeff Bedser also stated, "By using iThreat® First Response, our law firm and corporate legal department partners will be able to quickly and cost effectively ascertain the usefulness of evidence and decide on the proper course of action."

The costs of eDiscovery continue to rise and offerings that provide litigators and their support staff with controllable and fixed costs solutions are desperately needed. The iThreatŪ First Response solution represents a paradigm shift in the move to control costs and provide more efficient and effective litigation support.
