Digital Forensics and Cyber Investigations

Why Attend

The requirement for operational Incident Response, and Digital Forensic disciplines and procedures, has been forced to evolve in the last decade – driven by the increase of unprecedented cyber breaches, associated cyber-crimes, threats posed by State Sponsored Actors, and the increased complexities of Geopolitical tensions. Data breaches and intrusions have also evolved to more complex engagements, presenting the need for a robust in-house Digital Forensics/First Responder capability.

This course enables participants to engage with, and to investigate, both internal and external digital crimes and infractions. Applying robust processes and procedures which encompass the Digital Forensic acquisition and analysis of images, AI and Facial Recognition, from media and artifacts to computers and mobile technologies. Aligned with tough proven processes to secure evidential materials, participants can apply best practices to assure associated evidential integrity and value is maintained intact.

The 2022 course also introduces Your Own Search Engine techniques to cross-match digital assets and objects to enable an AI output of meaningful intelligence.

From a background of “in-the-field” law enforcement, associated with the key concepts of legal practices, this course will provide hands-on pragmatic experiences, underpinned by the academic and legal structures which form the basis of Forensic Science.

Including the key operational elements of the Secure Operational Centre (SOC) and its interfaces with the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), this course will provide participants with the skills they require to respond to a digital investigation with the assurance of completing it correctly.

The 2022 version of this course introduces multiples of take away tool, reading materials and book to support the professional on the longer journey to evolve in depth pragmatic experiences.
