Most organizations place a high priority on keeping data secure, but not every organization invests in training its engineers or employees in understanding the security risks involved when using or developing technology. Designed for the non-security professional, What Every Engineer Should Know About Cyber Security and Digital Forensics is an overview of the field of cyber security.

 

Exploring the cyber security topics that every engineer should understand, the book discusses:

 

 

• Network security

 

 

• Personal data security

 

 

• Cloud computing

 

 

• Mobile computing

 

 

• Preparing for an incident

 

 

• Incident response

 

 

• Evidence handling

 

 

• Internet usage

 

 

• Law and compliance

 

 

• Security and forensic certifications

 

 

Application of the concepts is demonstrated through short case studies of real-world incidents chronologically delineating related events. The book also discusses certifications and reference manuals in the area of cyber security and digital forensics.

By mastering the principles in this volume, engineering professionals will not only better understand how to mitigate the risk of security incidents and keep their data secure, but also understand how to break into this expanding profession.

Essential for anyone who works with technology in the field, E-DISCOVERY is a "hands-on, how-to" training guide that provides readers with comprehensive coverage of the technology used in e-discovery in civil and criminal cases. From discovery identification to collection, processing, review, production, and trial presentation, this practical text covers everything the reader needs to know about e-discovery, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and Federal Rules of Evidence. Throughout the text, the reader will have the opportunity to work with e-discovery tools such as Discovery Attender, computer forensics tools such as AccessData's Forensics ToolKit, as well as popular processing and review platforms such as iConect, Concordance, and iPro. An interactive courtroom tutorial and use of Trial Director are included to complete the litigation cycle. Multiple tools are discussed for each phase, giving the reader a good selection of potential resources for each task. Finally , real-life examples are woven throughout the text, revealing little talked-about potential pitfalls, as well as best practice and cost management suggestions.

This is the full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services seminar (27th of December 2013) about a comprehensive theory behind software forensics based on systemic and pattern-oriented software diagnostics developed by Software Diagnostics Institute. It synthesizes pattern-oriented memory analysis of malware and victimware with pattern-oriented software log and trace analysis based on software narratology. Topics include: The Definitions of Forensics, Computer Forensics, Software Forensics, Software Diagnostics, Diagnostic Pattern, Diagnostic Problem, Forensic Pattern, Software Forensics, The Relationship of Diagnostics and Forensics, Pattern Orientation, Forensic Analysis Patterns, Pattern Catalog Classification, Partition, and Implementation, Artifact Forensics, The Definitions of Software Narrative, Software Trace, Generalized Narrative, Hardware Narrative, The Definitions of Narratology of Things and Robotic Narratology, Pattern-Driven and Pattern-Based Analysis, Further Reading Suggestions for Software Diagnostics, Memory Dump Analysis, and Software Trace Analysis.

The Definitive, Up-to-Date Guide to Digital Forensics

The rapid proliferation of cyber crime is increasing the demand for digital forensics experts in both law enforcement and in the private sector. In Digital Archaeology, expert practitioner Michael Graves has written the most thorough, realistic, and up-to-date guide to the principles and techniques of modern digital forensics.

Graves begins by providing a solid understanding of the legal underpinnings of and critical laws affecting computer forensics, including key principles of evidence and case law. Next, he explains how to systematically and thoroughly investigate computer systems to unearth crimes or other misbehavior, and back it up with evidence that will stand up in court.

Drawing on the analogy of archaeological research, Graves explains each key tool and method investigators use to reliably uncover hidden information in digital systems. His detailed demonstrations often include the actual syntax of command-line utilities. Along the way, he presents exclusive coverage of facilities management, a full chapter on the crucial topic of first response to a digital crime scene, and up-to-the-minute coverage of investigating evidence in the cloud.

Graves concludes by presenting cov

The fast capacity growth of cheap storage devices presents an ever-growing problem of scale for digital forensic investigations. One aspect of scale problem in the forensic process is the need for new approaches to visually presenting and analyzing large amounts of data. Current generation of tools universally employ three basic GUI components—trees, tables, and viewers—to present all relevant information. This approach is not scalable as increasing the size of the input data leads to a proportional increase in the amount of data presented to the analyst. We present an alternative approach, which leverages data visualization techniques to provide a more intuitive interface to explore the forensic target. We use tree visualization techniques to give the analyst both a high-level view of the file system and an efficient means to drill down into the details. Further, we provide means to search for keywords and filter the data by time period.

Unified Communications Forensics: Anatomy of Common UC Attacks is the first book to explain the issues and vulnerabilities and demonstrate the attacks, forensic artifacts, and countermeasures required to establish a secure (UC) environment.

This book is written by leading UC experts Nicholas Grant and Joseph W. Shaw II and provides material never before found on the market, including:

• analysis of forensic artifacts in common UC attacks

• an in-depth look at established UC technologies and attack exploits

• hands-on understanding of UC attack vectors and associated countermeasures

• companion website http://secvoip.com giving readers access to the most up-to-date information on UC attacks.

Digital Forensics is the investigation and recovery of data contained in digital devices. This data is often the subject of investigations in litigation, proof of guilt, and corrective action in an organization. When the time comes that you need to investigate your organization, will you have the skill set necessary to gather the digital data that you need? The Certified Digital Forensics Examiner course will benefit organizations, individuals, government offices, and law enforcement agencies in performing these investigations and reporting their findings. To illustrate, let’s say an employee needs to be terminated for a violation of computer usage rules. To do so the organization must furnish an irrefutable burden of proof based on digital evidence. If not irrefutable, an attorney knowledgeable about Digital Forensics could have the case thrown out of court. Government and investigative agencies need proper training to succeed in cases like the above as well as those including acts of fraud, computer misuse, illegal pornography, counterfeiting, and so forth. A C)DFE is aptly prepared to handle these types of situations. This C)DFE prep guide will adequately prepare students to attempt the Certified Digital Forensics Examiner exam by mile2. The Certified Digital Forensics Examiner exam is taken online through Mile2’s Assessment and Certification System (MACS), which is accessible on your mile2.com account. The exam will take 2 hours and consist of 100 multiple choice questions. The cost is $300 USD and must be purchased from the store on Mile2.com.

Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard is the definitive book on conducting a complete investigation of a cybercrime using digital forensics techniques as well as physical investigative procedures. This book merges a digital analysis examiner's work with the work of a case investigator in order to build a solid case to identify and prosecute cybercriminals.

Brett Shavers links traditional investigative techniques with high tech crime analysis in a manner that not only determines elements of crimes, but also places the suspect at the keyboard. This book is a first in combining investigative strategies of digital forensics analysis processes alongside physical investigative techniques in which the reader will gain a holistic approach to their current and future cybercrime investigations.
