This course is part of the Digital Forensics Certificate and is an elective for both the Information Security Degree and Network Security Certificate. This course will help prepare the student to take the CyberSecurity Forensic Analyst (CSFA) certification test.

Digital forensics involves the preservation, identification, extraction, interpretation, and documentation of computer evidence, to include the rules of evidence, legal processes, integrity of evidence, factual reporting of the information found, and providing expert opinion in a court of law or other legal / administrative proceeding if necessary as to what was found.

Digital forensics does not just deal with criminal matters or situations encountered by law enforcement. Situations where the skills of a digital forensics analyst are needed arise everyday - divorces, civil disputes, bankruptcies, medical malpractice, wills, the list goes on and on.

This course is one in a series that will prepare you for work as a forensic analyst or starting your own digital forensic related business. Suitable for anyone in an information technology related field - IT security officers, security professionals, security auditors, network engineers, network administrators, troubleshooters and technicians. Technical CEOs and law enforcement will also benefit from this course. This course has been completed by many law enforcement personnel who have found that it more than prepared them for their IACIS certification, and has also been delivered to military personnel to prepare them for performing forensic analysis in the Mideast. Upon completion of the course, students will also receive a certificate from CyberSecurity Institute.
