Jeff
Michael Fischbach, ABFE
Exposed
to computers as a child, Jeff Fischbach developed
his early skills negotiating a primitive interface
to what we now know as the Internet. In the computer
sciences building at the California State University
in Northridge, where his father continues to teach,
Fischbach spent his free time learning about computers
and information technology as it developed just down
the hall. He has remained involved with computers
and has remained vigilant in his pursuit of knowledge,
training and apprenticeship throughout his life. In
1994, Fischbach began a part-time consulting practice
which, due in no small part to a concentrated focus
on information systems policy, swiftly became a profitable
full-time career.
An information systems
consultant by trade, Fischbach has served as a key
technology advisor to more than a dozen professional
organizations for the last several years. Companies,
large and small, continue to rely on his expert opinions
as they face the rapid changes occurring in information
and communications technologies. Among these changes
has been a shift in the way companies interact with
their employees, partners, customers and vendors.
Along the way, Fischbach has guided his clients over
a turbulent sea of change. Often engaged to evaluate,
scrutinize, mediate or settle deceptive, negligent,
fraudulent, or criminal activity over complex computers
and network systems, Fischbach’s professionalism
and discretion have become his trademark.
As a litigation consultant
and expert witness, Fischbach has shared his technological
expertise with judges, attorneys and their clients.
“Invaluable,” and able to “explain
sophisticated computer concepts in a clear, understandable
and concise way,” says one attorney. Fischbach
has developed a reputation for his unique ability
to simplify the complex workings of computers and
networks using clear analogies and lively charts and
illustrations.
Mr. Fischbach has worked
closely with the Los Angeles Computer Crimes Division
of the FBI, consulted with the Danish Consulate, and,
frequently quoted, has become a recognized authority
among members of the press. Through his work, Fischbach
has developed and maintained contacts in many closed-door
organizations such as America Online and Apple Computer.
His relationship with these companies has allowed
him to cut through red-tape and has often yielded
expedited results.
Fischbach has aided in
the investigation and apprehension of computer criminals
and has assisted in the successful defense and exoneration
of those wrongly charged with computer crimes and
misconduct. His strength lies in his ability to master
new concepts, interpret and apply data, and, ultimately,
train his audience. A Board Certified Forensic Examiner,
and active member of several industry organizations,
Fischbach has made himself a valuable resource to
his clients. |
