Course description

The Information Systems Digital Media Forensics and Information Systems Security Associate degrees are designed to prepare the student for employment in an exciting and emerging technology field. The digital media curriculum focuses on the use of specialized software and practices associated with the discovery, analysis and documentation in a forensic investigation. Students examine various formats used for data storage in PCs, laptops, PDAs, cellular phones, mp3 players, digital cameras and other digital devices. Topics include chain of custody, encryption, access control, auditing and validation tools, media analysis, and report generation. The systems security curriculum provides students with the skills in security analysis, designing and creating a secure system, troubleshooting vulnerabilities, the use of appropriate testing measures, producing forensics documentation and the development, implementation and maintenance of security policy and information assurance. Additional consideration is given to legal and ethical issues, current and emerging legislation and technical issues. Security is more than technology and tactics; it is process, procedures, and risk management. Students desiring to enter this curriculum are advised to contact the Computer Science and Information Technology Department for an appointment to discuss the problem solving skills and requirements for successful completion of this program.
