I am newbie in my organization and the environment still confusing me. My organization is having the investigation towards the privacy breach problem,so it's involving digital forensics investigation. Talking about digital forensics, that organization have digital forensics readiness of any issues that possibly will happen in their organization. Means that, they have the response team in the organization in order to minimize the cost instead of hiring outsider to solve the problem. The questions are
a) Is there any insurance discounts for the cost involved in the investigation of the privacy breach even they have the response team?
b) The importance of training and education in this digital forensics. Should it be introduced widely to students/professionals/staffs?
Can anyone please clarify me? ?

A) No clue in regards to insurance like this exists or if discounts are available. I think its doubtful.
B) training and education is essential to performing forensics. Most organizations have a small team of trained professionals to conduct forensic investigations. If you are dealing with privacy breaches, then you should have your legal and privacy teams discuss a response plan with your information security managers.
This link has many documents that can help you in various forensic and cyber security response best practices. http//

You'd need to talk to the insurer, *AND* read the contract.
I used to be an incident responder employed (as an externally-facing consultant) by a data center (i.e., "cloud") company. Clients would sign up and then if something happened, would see in the contract that it covered "security services", and want someone like me to assist…as part of the contract. The company stated that, with respect to the contract, DFIR work did not fall under "security services".
b) The importance of training and education in this digital forensics. Should it be introduced widely to students/professionals/staffs?
Yes.
However, my "yes" goes beyond just training. Right now, one common thread I keep hearing in the industry is that students coming out of programs are not ready to work in the field. This is why there's so much movement in the field…people change jobs because there are organizations out there looking for skilled employees, but the folks just coming into the field are having a hard time.

Indeed. You stated that students coming out of programs are not ready to work in the field. Is the programs you mentioned related to the field or just the other disciplines? Are you saying that students today is not so into the field? Just asking D
