Introduction
As cyber threats grow in frequency and sophistication, organizations must be prepared to investigate and respond to digital incidents effectively. Digital forensics and cyber investigation are critical for identifying the origin, impact, and scope of cyberattacks, fraud, and internal misconduct. This course equips participants with the essential skills to conduct forensic investigations, collect and analyze digital evidence, and support incident response efforts. Covering both theoretical foundations and hands-on techniques, the course bridges cybersecurity and digital forensics, enabling participants to investigate breaches, malware attacks, unauthorized access, and data theft confidently and legally.
