Digital<br />
Forensics<br />
Digital forensics is the recovery <strong>of</strong> digital data<br />
for use as evidence in both civil and criminal<br />
legal proceedings, or in internal investigations<br />
documenting violations <strong>of</strong> computer usage<br />
policies in corporate or public agency settings.<br />
This type <strong>of</strong> evidence is important in cases <strong>of</strong><br />
white collar crime and industrial espionage<br />
or theft, as well as in cases <strong>of</strong> harassment,<br />
embezzlement and conspiracy. Laws <strong>of</strong><br />
evidence must be known and followed to<br />
collect, preserve, analyze and present digital<br />
data in court. These laws also apply to<br />
organizations when they are documenting<br />
computer usage violations by employees.<br />
This program is designed for information<br />
technology specialists, systems analysts and<br />
network administrators. Especially beneficial<br />
for individuals within private corporations or<br />
public agencies who are asked to search for<br />
and identify hidden digital data, or to analyze<br />
employee computer usage, stored or copied<br />
files, email or Internet history.<br />
A certificate from the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Washington</strong> <strong>Tacoma</strong> and 9 CEUs are awarded<br />
upon successful completion <strong>of</strong> the program.<br />

Law and Digital Forensics<br />
Digital forensics is a pr<strong>of</strong>ession that differs<br />
significantly from the image portrayed on television.<br />
The reality is that the digital forensics<br />
expert needs much more experience than a<br />
solid background in IT. An expert in this area<br />
needs to understand the “big picture” <strong>of</strong> civil<br />
litigation, the basics <strong>of</strong> criminal law and what<br />
can and cannot be ascertained through forensics<br />
analysis.<br />

Digital Forensics Tools & Processes<br />
In most investigations a digital forensics case<br />

to gather evidence both in the field and in the<br />
lab. Covers tools and processes utilized for effective<br />
information gathering.<br />

Applied Digital Forensics:<br />
Case Studies<br />
Applying findings from a digital forensic<br />
analysis is only the first step for the<br />

investigations consist <strong>of</strong> combining recovered<br />
digital evidence with other resources. Focuses<br />
on the most important skills necessary for a<br />
