Did you know most pictures posted on social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram tell the world about when and where that photograph was taken? This data, called “geotagging” is the focus of this presentation. Geotagged content’s prevalence is rapidly increasing on all social media platforms. This evolution of geosocial data is changing the face of risk management and investigations as we know it. Learn exactly what geosocial data is, and how this type of information is used to investigate insurance claims of all kinds. Attendees will understand how to gain eye-opening insight into accidents, site-security, workplace harassment and high exposure incidents, by locating social media photographs, videos, and posts at the specific locations and times pertaining to the incident in question.
This session utilizes real life case examples to demonstrate the impact of this new technology in the realm of
risk management, law and insurance. These case examples will also show how this cyber evidence can be uncovered and leveraged in a variety of scenarios. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of how to utilize this new information and why it can be helpful in producing evidence and witnesses previously unknown to legal and claims professionals.
