ACCRA – Ghana. September 19, 2011: A Ghanaian expatriate, Albert Antwi-Boasiako has established the first ever computer
forensics firm with a dedicated e-crime laboratory in the country to assist corporate bodies, the law enforcement, government
institutions and stakeholders to fight the emergence of cyber related criminal activities in the sub-region.

The company, e-Crime Bureau has been established to offer a wide range of services including computer and mobile phone
forensics services, digital forensics expert witness services, data security & cryptographic services, e-fraud investigations &
countermeasures, incident response and cyber intelligence analytics. In addition, the company is developing strategic
partnerships with research partners, both locally and internationally to carry out research into the emergence of online criminal
behaviour which continue to dent the credibility of countries in the sub-region.
“The fact that many international reports continue to rank Ghana and Nigeria among the top cybercrime offending nations is a
worrying development for our countries especially at the time when our governments are actively promoting ICT literacy at all
levels; our enthusiasm to accelerate development through ICT should be complemented with ethical behaviour online as a
nation”, the founder advised. “Our resolve in establishing the first ever computer forensics lab in Ghana is to assist businesses
and government institutions across the sub-region to secure their ICT infrastructure and to provide investigation support in high
tech crime cases,” Mr Antwi-Boasiako concluded.

Apart from services in ICT infrastructure security and computer forensics being provided by the company, e-Crime Bureau will
also develop training programmes in cyber security, incident response, internet investigations and computer forensics among
others. The company has also developed partnerships with global cyber security and computer forensics solution providers to
help provide customized technology support through the deployment of appropriate software and hardware solutions.
The e-Crime Bureau Team is made of both local and international consultants with varied specializations in the field of cyber
security and computer forensics. One of our strategic goals as a company is to expand our operational base across Africa and to
facilitate greater working cooperation with stakeholders including businesses, academic institutions, law enforcement bodies and
government departments. The company has begun discussions with local representatives to open e-Crime Bureau branches in
other Africa countries.
