The HTCIA recognizes the need for a better system of networking private and public investigations against criminals, who continually threaten both private and government computer networks and/or steal millions of dollars in assets by the use of computers or other forms of high technology.

With the explosion in the use of computers and the Internet, there is an upswing in criminal activities that utilize these powerful tools. From computer viruses to fraud, these are just a few of the many growing threats that expose our society to a new kind of criminal activity in the 2lst century. This conference addresses some of those issues.
