Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator – Computer Forensics

"EC-Council brought you the original and most sought after ethical hacker course when we introduced Certified Ethical Hacker! In this Computer Forensics Training course, we teach the "hack" from the other side to bring you the world’s most relevant Computer Forensic course!"

If “computer forensics” is required then it is clear that there has been an assertion of abuse or misuse of a company’s digital systems. Now as the company’s information technology officer you are charged with proving or disproving the allegation. Do you have the tools? Will you have to sub-contract the investigation? Will there be a need to prosecute? These and many other questions will be at the forefront of any conversation concerning computer forensics.

EC-Council understands the dilemma that you are facing so we have created a computer forensics training course that is rivaled by none; Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator!

What is Computer Forensics?

Computer forensic investigation is the investigation of a computer crime. Computer Forensics is defined as the use of science to identify, collect, examine, and analyze data while preserving the integrity of the information in a computer system. Organizations store vast amounts of data from many sources. It is enough to acknowledge the amount and importance of a company’s data stored in a computer network but when one examines the financial risk of the slightest compromise, one  knows that computer forensic investigation skills are vital to any organization. Computer forensic investigation is not a job that can be done by anyone, but rather, Computer Forensic Investigation requires a highly trained individual who can draw upon their knowledge of IT while adding their training in the discipline of Computer Forensics.

The goal of this course is to train IT Professionals and to develop   the skills and capabilities to perform computer forensic investigation.  In this course a student will learn specialized computer forensic investigating techniques in criminal investigation or legal litigation.  Of course every organization needs to have the capability to perform digital forensics but this training provides detailed information regarding how to establish the correct digital computer forensics path.  The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigation (CHFI) course will provide participants the necessary skills to identify an intruder’s footprints and to properly gather the necessary evidence to prosecute in the court of law.

Computer Forensic Course Testimonials

"I work as a Chief of ICT Security Division, and teach computer security for Masters Degree students. This course has been helpful in developing my professional career growth as Computer Forensic expert. I learned the skills that can be used at international level, and I am able to conduct my work with the necessary expertise and professionalism.  I have also been appointed as auxiliary police officer in computer forensic crime activities with the Italian Court of Justice."

"EC COUNCIL has changed the way I approach a security event.  Before obtaining my CHFI, I would jump right into the event and start digging for details. Now my approach is to stop and analyze the situation before jumping into the problem.  I now make sure not to degrade the integrity of the data or hardware involved and record and label anything I can before digging into any details."

"The skills gained by the CEH and CHFI certifications have helped contribute to society by having the necessary knowledge, experience, and skills needed when helping healthcare providers secure electronic protected health information (ePHI). This has been a very rewarding project and it's great to be a part of something that will ultimately lead to better quality of care for all patients while maintaining privacy and security of their health information. The CEH and CHFI certifications have helped me gain the necessary skills needed to be successful with such and important nationwide project."
