New Horizons EC-Council Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI) v11

EC-Council’s C|HFI program prepares cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and skills to perform effective digital forensics investigations and bring their organization into a state of forensic readiness. Establishing the forensics process, lab, evidence handling procedures, and investigation techniques are required to validate/triage incidents and point the incident response teams in the right direction. Forensic readiness is crucial as it can differentiate between a minor incident and a major cyber-attack that brings a company to its knees.

This intense hands-on digital forensics program immerses students in over 68 forensic labs, working on crafted evidence files utilizing the tools of the world’s top digital forensics professionals. Students will go beyond traditional hardware and memory forensics, covering current topics in cloud forensics, mobile and IoT, and investigating web application attacks and malware forensics. The C|HFI presents a methodological approach to computer forensics, including searching and seizing, chain-of-custody, acquisition, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence. Students learn various forensic investigation techniques and standard forensic tools. As they learn how to acquire and manage evidence through various operating environments, students also learn the chain of custody and legal procedures required to preserve evidence and ensure it is admissible in court, enabling the eventual prosecution of cyber criminals and containing liability on the victim organization.
