Digital forensics evidence is held to the same standards as physical evidence, which means that it must be authentic, admissible and reliably obtained. It is critical that security professionals understand the technical, legal and administrative challenges facing data forensics in order to protect the information gathered prior to it being turned over for analysis to ensure the evidence holds up in a court of law. This course explains the digital forensics scientific process, data acquisition methods, digital evidence handling and preservation principles.Modules: Digital Forensics and Cybercrime Evidence Data Acquisition and Preservation Show less
