Design layered controls for digital forensic investigation across deterrence, detection, delay and response.
Digital Forensic Investigation and Electronic Evidence Analysis
Practical training in digital forensic investigation, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Guard force performance on digital forensic investigation reflects supervision, not instruction. A control on this part of corporate security practice that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Improvement in the wider corporate security practice agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants test their assumptions about digital forensic investigation against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme converts the practice within corporate security practice from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The level assumes working familiarity with the protected site but no prior formal training in the corporate security practice discipline. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around digital forensic investigation reduces downstream rework. They leave able to brief senior management on this area of corporate security practice in terms that support a decision. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of corporate security practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
