MSDF630. DIGITAL FORENSICS EVIDENCE

This engaging course introduces the learner to critical legal knowledge as designed, written, and taught by legal experts. When a civil or criminal case may end up in court, all of the digital forensics skills that IT professionals bear are at risk unless the chain of custody is maintained and the rules of evidence are followed. Understanding evidence law, therefore, prepares the information security professional to put into full force her or his digital forensics analyses and to effectively serve their corporate, private, or governmental principal with utmost professionalism. MSDF 633 Computer Crimes and Digital Forensics and this course complement each other to place the learner at a great competitive advantage over peers who tend to leave the law to the lawyers.
