As organisations become increasingly reliant on IT systems, the systems themselves often become the tools for, or the scene of, internal crimes. The investigative challenges for the regular security professional are challenging, to say the least. Do you take people with a strong investigative background, and train them in computer forensics - or do you take people who have strengths in computer forensics, and try to train them in investigative skills? This is one of the many problems addressed in an on-line article on CSO Online, entitled Investigations: Merge Ahead, which looks at how physical and digital investigations are increasingly merging.
The 2-day IT Security and Incident Response Course is an intensive programme intended for those whose role may in some way involve the detection and investigation of internal crimes committed against or using company IT systems. It provides a thorough understanding of the value of effective response measures in handling such incidents.
Delivered by Ed Wilding, author and practicing IT forensics investigator, the course is presented in non-technical language and, thus, is of great benefit to general security managers, consultants, investigators, line managers and IT staff. It combines theory-based lectures and discussions with a unique one-day investigative simulation.
The next programme is scheduled for 12-13 November 2008. For details click here.
