Explanation:
“If a computer crime is suspected, it is important not to alert the suspect. A
preliminary investigation should be conducted to determine whether a crime has been committed
by examining the audit records and system logs, interviewing witnesses, and assessing the
damage incurred….Search warrants are issued when there is a probable cause for the search and
provide legal authorization to search a location for specific evidence.” -Ronald Krutz The CISSP
