Technology Forensics Degree

Prevent digital data crimes with computer forensics degree

A technology forensics specialist is an Information Technology professional who supports the military, corporate, law enforcement and legal communities in the investigation and analysis of digital data. Students in the Technology Forensics degree will learn methods to obtain and document digital information, determine how information was compromised, trace attribution of malicious code and digital artifacts, and reverse engineer data in order to develop mitigations and countermeasures. Topics of study may include methods for discovering data in computers, networks and hand-held devices; recovering deleted, encrypted, corrupted or hidden information; the proper handling of evidence in accordance with laws and regulations; advanced malware detection; reverse engineering; and investigation of malicious code from a variety of sources including both common threat sources and the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT).

A technology forensics specialist is a role that will require the knowledge of systems and investigative techniques in order to impartially produce electronic evidence; develop attribution links; and counter advanced tactics, techniques, and protocols (TTP) of the adversary so that valuable data may be found in complex systems. Graduates from the program will have both the technical skills for recovering evidence and the presentation skills to provide both detailed technical and summary data to interested parties. This may include studies in the areas of electronic discovery, deposition and litigation or in corporate personnel processes. Above all, this program will focus on learning the highly technical and cutting-edge technologies affecting IT systems today and tomorrow. This program will prepare students to anticipate new and emerging technologies so they can be successful within the rapidly evolving computer forensic environment and the increasingly complex threat landscape. This program provides students with the opportunity to synthesize and apply the vital skills and knowledge necessary to not only succeed in the workforce but to have a highly desirable and technical education setting them apart from traditional digital forensics programs. Instruction will lead students into hands-on and real-world situations, where they will gain invaluable experience working with actual systems, software and networks. Further setting this program apart is the ability of students to work with the actual tools utilized by industry professionals and real-world malware in a controlled teaching environment.
