This suite of courses is for staff who are required to
work as investigators, or evidence gatherers, in the
technical field and not necessarily conduct
internet based investigations.

Security Fundamentals in cyber ops
The digital trail that individuals and organisations broadcast and leave traces of on a day to day basis is growing in size and complexity. This course will explore techniques to obfuscate your own digital identity and footprint and conversely be able to look for the clues left behind by
others. The training is classroom based but very much hands on. Students will be conversant in the use of public key encryption, virtual computers and secure smart phone builds to ensure they are not traceable by an adversary.
Fundamentals in Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is far more than operating forensic software. Effective forensic examination requires a strong understanding of evidential recovery, investigative strategy, exhibit handling, legal compliance, court presentation, and the role digital evidence plays in both intelligence development and criminal investigations. This course sits above and beyond the use of commercial forensic tools by focusing on the principles, methodology, and professional standards that underpin defensible digital forensic work. Learners will develop the capability to recover, preserve, analyse, interpret, and present digital evidence to the standard required for intelligence development, prosecution, court presentation, and organisational investigations.


Intermediate Digital Forensics
Modern investigations increasingly require digital forensic examiners to operate in live environments, where critical evidential opportunities exist before a device can be seized, powered down, or removed for traditional laboratory examination. The Intermediate Digital Forensics Course builds on the foundations of forensic examination and focuses on the recovery, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence from live systems and active operational environments. Participants will develop the capability to recover volatile data, support operational decision-making, preserve evidential integrity, and respond effectively to live crime scenes while maintaining forensic defensibility.
