Course description

This hands-on program is designed for any information technology professional that needs to acquire the skills to properly perform forensic analysis of computing devices and systems, analyze employee resource usage, or perhaps start their own digital forensics company. Students will learn a complete methodology on how to process cases from start to finish - not just how to be a user of automated software packages.

Skills will be emphasized that are often left out of other programs, such as methodologies to perform testing, verification, and assure the proper interpretation of evidence. With these skills you will be able successfully process cases involving situations and scenarios not covered in class. The legal aspects of acquiring and using digital evidence will be covered, with emphasis on what the digital forensics analyst needs to know to assure that any actions performed are within the letter of the law.
