Course Overview:
Digital information continues to grow at an exponential rate. Data is no longer stored solely in computer hard drives, backup tapes, or compact discs (CDs). With the growth of emerging portable data and storage devices, such as portable digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and Blackberry devices, crucial information can be anywhere and easily passed from device-to-device. Information stored in these changing media can be crucial sources of evidence in corporate, civil, and criminal investigations.
Moreover, cyber criminals are continuously crafting ways to evade existing forensics tools and techniques. NetSecurity's Computer Forensics Training for Attorneys course teaches legal professionals the process of locating, acquiring, preserving, analyzing, and producing solid digital evidence that can make the difference between winning and losing a case. The Hands-On How-To Lab Exercises (HOHTLEs) covered in the course incorporate significant real-world experiences necessary to prepare or scrutinize a forensics investigator.
