Digital forensics is the acquisition and analysis of evidentiary information that is stored or transferred in binary form. Digital evidence is found on computers, networks, mobile devices, drones, “smart devices,” and in “the cloud.” Single investigations often generate dozens of digital devices with terabytes of data. It is the fastest growing area in forensics science. Courses will provide training and experience in the collection, examination, analysis, reporting, and legal proceedings involving digital evidence, preparing graduates for careers in in digital forensics, information security, business intelligence, investigations, and traditional forensic science.
