Computer Forensics Foundation Course

Last Updated: 27 08 2025

The Computer Forensics Foundation course presents students with a solid foundation of the principles of digital forensics. The students will develop an understanding of how a cyber incident may be investigated and how digital evidence is secured. The course will highlight the importance of the following key areas, which should be included when considering an investigation into a cyber-related crime: digital crime, evidence processing, evidence recovery, forensic tools, evidence preservation, and data acquisition. 

The Computer Forensics Foundation course is intended for persons working in cybersecurity and IT operations, as well as employees from law enforcement agencies needing to apply practical skills in compromised systems to detect fraudulent use of organisational resources. In addition to developing both the theoretical and practical knowledge to respond to compromised systems, participants will delve into relevant case studies that may include fraud detection cases, disputes arising from e-commerce, and cyber investigations. 

By providing students with an understanding of how digital forensics intersects with other domains, like how over time more and more organizations are adopting AI-based threat detection, cloud platforms via services like AWS or Azure, virtualization tools like VMware or Citrix, etc., this course has prepared the students for what they may encounter in continued education, whether it be cybersecurity or threat analysis or some other area of security and evidence-based methods. 

SSDN Technologies, a Corporate Training Company in India, provides course delivery with a practical skills-focused perspective, which stitches in many of the possible applications of the knowledge embedded in the course through real experience. By the completion of the course, participants should be better able to contribute to investigations, vouch for evidential integrity in cyber investigations, and know how to make a strong contribution towards strengthening organisational security frameworks. This certification is an initial step in learning. This can lead participants to a more advanced course on forensic investigation or incident response.
