Overview
You have been called back by the CISO to report your findings and pursue the next steps of your investigation. During your investigation it was discovered that the estranged husband of the CEO’s executive staff assistant had compromised her system’s account, which allowed him to access confidential documents including other employees’ personally identifiable information. You have completed your forensics investigation and documented the findings in an incident report, and continue to maintain and secure evidence in the pursuit of criminal and civil charges.
