THE COURSE HAS A SINGULAR GOAL: PREPARING THE EXPERIENCED SYSTEMS PROFESSIONAL TO PROPERLY HANDLE, PREPARE, INVESTIGATE, EXPLAIN AND DEFEND A FORENSICS REPORT WHICH INVOLVES DIGITAL EVIDENCE.
Topic
A wide range of digital platforms, knowledge, data and evidence exist in our workday lives. These are of considerable value in administrative, civil and criminal investigations and sanction processes. The proper end-to-end system and process for caring of this evidence is central to its value in both liturgical and non-liturgical settings. Increasingly, organizations depend on systems staff to aid and perhaps conduct investigations which involve digital data–evidence.
The Course is intended to support the “white-hat” introduction to the necessary tradecraft of the emerging digital forensics profession. The course assumes a broad understanding of networks, platforms and use of systematic approaches. The course is quite intensive and covers 8 interdependent and testable knowledge domains. These domains are attached to this document.
The Examination
The end-of-course examination consists of a set of scenario-based multiple-choice questions. Each candidate may have up to 1 hour to complete the examination. The Examination is be offered the after the eight hour Ramp-Up course. Students who successfully complete the examination will be awarded a certificate of completion.
The Ramp-Up course is immersive and requires one full day of in-class focused learning. This is not a hands-on course. The learning is centered on the combination of pre-test assessments, lecture, questions, review and discussion. The course makes use of proprietary teaching materials, a reference text, binder and class notes. Students will be rigorously prepared for exam techniques and forensics skill building relevant to the final exam instrument. DIGITAL FORENSICS KNOWLEDGE DOMAINS
