Course Cmptr 238 - Information Systems Security III

Course Description:

In this course students will explore current issues and advanced topics in network security and digital forensics.  Topics include an overview of the forensic relevance of encryption, the examination of digital evidence for clues, and the most effective way to present your evidence and conclusions in court. Unique forensic issues associated with both the UNIX and the Windows NT/2000/2003 operating systems are thoroughly covered. 

Course Objectives: At this point in your information system security training you probably know how to secure a network, and you know how to determine if a security breach has taken place. You may not know how to handle a security breach if corporate assets were involved, though. This course will attempt to train you in how you would cooperate with law enforcement when a crime has been committed on a computer. You’ll need this knowledge to pass any number of information systems security certification exams, including the CompTIA Security+ exam, the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC²) SSCP exam, the ISC² CISSP exam, or the IACIS Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE) exam.
