Cyber Security Training
As a branch of forensic science, digital forensics is the legal evidence collection process for computers, mobile devices, applications, and digital storage media; ensuring that evidence integrity is always maintained. The goal is to collect, examine, identify, preserve, recover, analyse, and present evidence as facts and opinions, based on the evidence found.
A digital forensics examiner needs to be able to understand the process of investigating a cybercrime, the relevant laws involved and the details in obtaining the necessary authorisation to perform the investigation. They must have the necessary information technology and security skills, to be able to deal with these various situations and understand the many different types of digital evidence, as well as have the necessary skills to manage projects and resources.
Misuse or crime involving digital evidence is now commonplace across all industries and sectors of business and poses such a significant security and financial risk to most organisations. Whether Internet or email abuse, theft of intellectual property or fraud, it is important that businesses are aware of their legal rights and obligations when it comes to dealing with cybercrime.
When an incident occurs, the initial response is crucial. Anything other than a properly documented ‘forensic’ approach is likely to result in a legal challenge. Roles of the First Responder include: securing, evaluating, and documenting the electronic crime scene; conducting interviews; collecting, preserving, packaging, and transporting digital evidence; and finally reporting the crime.
These courses will provide a comprehensive insight into the complex world of cyber related investigations and in turn, allow the attendee to approach future incidents with increased confidence, through knowledge of the relevant issues. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of IT systems administration and computer architecture. The following technical issues will be addressed in basic terms: data storage, data retrieval, forensic evidence recovery, network forensics and monitoring tools.
