The number of incidents being reported is rapidly increasing every year. Organizations need to respond to these incidents and investigate what, when, why, where, who, and how they happened. This requires special skills and knowledge in systems and how they operate. This is not a simple task that can be handled by an IT professional, but only those trained to acquire and analyze information in a forensically sound manner.

Cyber 5W Digital Forensic Analyst training will guide students on how to conduct digital investigations and write investigative forensic reports. This training uses an experiential learning process for training students, where students learn digital forensics by doing investigative tasks on real-world cases. Students will learn how to perform evidence acquisition and how to deal with disks and file systems, and then explore the forensic artifacts one may encounter when working with the Windows operating system. By completing this training, students are prepared to take the exam that leads to the Cyber 5W Certified Digital Forensic Analyst (CCDFA) certificate.
