CLFE (Certified Lead Forensics Examiner) training

Description

Digital forensics or computer forensics is a set of methods and techniques designed to identify and collect digital evidence on a computer network or device at the request of a judicial body. The Lead Forensics Examiner is the person in charge of conducting or supervising all investigation procedures within a company or organization's computer network.

The Lead Forensics Examiner training course will teach you to understand and master digital forensics activities in a forensic setting, with best practices linked to the exploitation and protection of evidence. You will also understand the basics of computer forensics, the implementation of evidence recovery processes and analysis techniques. This program focuses on the essential skills required to collect and analyze data from operating systems such as Windows, MAC OS X, Linux, Android and IOS.
