DALLAS, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- International digital forensics, cyber-crime response, and electronic discovery firm Stroz Friedberg is pleased to announce the addition of data-intrusion expert Eric D. Harris as Managing Director in the firm's Dallas office.

In his new position at Stroz Friedberg, Mr. Harris supervises digital forensics, cyber-crime investigations and e-discovery in criminal, civil, regulatory, and internal corporate matters.
