Larry R. Leibrock, Ph.D.
Chief Technology Officer

Intense. Complex. Driven. Learned.

Highly regarded as one of the foremost digital forensics authorities in the world, Larry has taught and practiced digital forensics, IT security and systems survivability for over 20 years. His vast experience spans civil, criminal and administrative issues pertaining to digital systems, evidence collection, forensics response strategy and legal complexities. He has a special interest in the business, technical and legal issues of digital spoliation - that is, the destruction - or attempted destruction - or alteration of evidence in pending litigation. He has the unusual ability to assemble, analyze, and get to the essence of vast quantities of highly complex data and distill and communicate it in ways that non-technical business executives, lawyers and judges can understand. In that regard, he has worked on complex cases for governments and some of largest corporations in the world and the major law firms that serve them.

Larry also has a broad range of international, national and state government service. He has been appointed as a special master in a Texas court to resolve complex digital evidence and intellectual property matters. He has served as senior advisor to the Texas Office of The Attorney General, has testified at two White House conferences and before one U.S. Senate committee hearing concerning IT security and forensics, including before the President of the United States . Currently, he serves as the governor's appointed board member for the Texas Dept. of Information Resources and the U.S. Controller General's IT advisory board.

A popular speaker and clinical forensics instructor, Larry has a wide-range of recent presentations, courses, and peer-reviewed publications, including the following representative sample:

Like the other members of the eForensics team, Larry has skills and interests which complement and expand his vision. Outside of the lab, courtroom, classroom and executive suite, Larry's keen eye and intensity turn to photographing the microscopic worlds of insects, plants and flowers. Using high-powered dental cameras, he is able to capture images of the inmost core of flowers that are surreal in their beauty and luminosity.

A true renaissance man, Larry has a passion to build eForensics into a firm known worldwide for excellence of work, service, professional growth, teamwork, truth and artistry.

Larry has a Ph.D. in library information sciences and an MBA from The University of Texas.
