Description:

 

This Mini-Track will address research and curriculum in the related disciplines and intersection of cyber security and cyber forensics. The areas of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security are overlapping areas of extreme importance – not just to the national security of countries around the world, but within those areas under rule of law where electronic evidence is vetted and plays an important rule on the determination of guilt or innocence. The areas of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security have grown to become integral components of areas such as Cyber Law, Electronic Data Discovery, Electronic Data Destruction, and Compliance.

 

Many laws exist today, requiring both public sector and private sector managers to protect information systems and assets. Appropriately collecting digital evidence when an incident occurs is fundamental to bringing perpetrators of computer related crimes to justice and preventing future occurrences. An understanding of Cyber Forensics will be needed not just by college students entering the various fields within technology, but also by those individuals entering business, criminal justice, law, accounting and homeland security.
