Overview

Why is digital forensics so important? In today’s digital world, every organization is bound to be attacked and likely breached by a cyber adversary. Forensics can be used to determine if and how a breach occurred and also how to properly respond.

Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime with Kali Linux Fundamentals LiveLessons introduces you to the world of digital forensics and acts as a primer for your future forensic work. This is a fundamentals course with a focus on the average network engineer, so you don’t need to be an IT expert to follow most of the concepts. Learn when a breach occurs, what actions you can take, and how to learn from the breach to prevent future attacks. This video course focuses on using open source technology available in the Kali Linux framework along with other tools to simplify forensic tasks. You will master the basics of digital forensics, learn best practices, and explore legal and forensic service concepts.
