Digital Forensics

Program Overview

Program Overview

When a security incident occurs, someone has to piece together what happened. Digital forensics is the discipline of investigating, analysing, and reconstructing cyber events using evidence left behind in systems, files, and networks.

This program walks you through the fundamentals of digital investigation — from acquiring and preserving forensic images to analysing file systems, recovering deleted data, and examining network traffic using tools like Wireshark.

Every task mirrors a real investigation scenario, and you'll document your findings in structured forensic reports — a critical skill for any cybersecurity professional.
