1. [100 pts] Refer to the Chapter 3 of DHS IT Security Essential Body of Knowledge Main Text (See DHS EBK_MainText_nps36-010708-07.pdf in Resources folder). Pick ONE competency area from EBK (data security, digital forensics, risk management, etc.) and provide the definition of each key term listed under that competency area. You can use the definitions provided in the textbook or search them from other sources. I have chosen the digital forensics competency area and the definition of each key terms as listed in the textbook are as follows: i. Manage The term manage is used to mean acquiring the necessary contractual vehicle and resources that include financial resources that are used in running forensic labs and programs. It can also be used to mean to coordinate and build internal and external consensus that can be used to develop and manage an organizational digital forensic program. Management also is to establish a digital forensic team, usually, the one that is composed of investigators, IT professionals and incidents handlers to perform digital and network forensics. Management provides adequate workspaces that at minimum take in to account …show more content…
It also helps in performing forensic analysis on networks and computer systems and make recommendations for remediation. Implementation involves application, maintaining and analyzing results from intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention system, network mapping software and other tools that can be used to protect, detect and correct information security-related vulnerabilities and laws. Implementation can also be said to provide audit data to appropriate law enforcement or other investigation agencies to include corporate security elements. The implementation also involves coordinate dissemination of forensic analysis findings to appropriate
However, these two solutions are just extreme examples of how work may be allocated among a server and handheld client. Depending on circumstances, solutions in between these extremes may be useful and necessary. If one limits the discussion to a typical AR system which uses a single video source for both tracking and video see-through display, the processing pipeline is composed of the following main tasks: video acquisition, tracking, application computation, rendering, display. Offloading some of these tasks to a computing server is an instance of horizontally distributed simulation, and it is established knowledge that a scalable solution (many clients, many servers etc.) requires cautious use of the available network bandwidth. Communication
For financial fraud investigations large amounts of data and information needed to be collected. It involves the data gathering through database, interviewing, searches and collecting the documentary evidence. The evidence can be collected through email, faxes, chats and financial records. Through the advancement of technology there are vast means through which the evidence can be collected.
2/17/2017: Core competencies that were developed are noted. The candidate utilized Information technology, privacy and data security for maintaining security of data, and evaluating feasibility and profitability competency for evaluation of products and services. 2/17/2017: Application of core competencies relative to ethics of data security, cloud computing technology, cost consideration, timeline, data utilization, risks and licensing were discussed with good details. 2/17/2017: Figuring out recommendations and financial impact of recommendations were the obstacles encountered during Task 4.
Chapter eight discusses the intelligence and the investigations functions within incident management. They handle incidences such as hostile environments that need to be brought down to an acceptable level. It provides the IC and the UC with knowledge about the operational environment. These are important elements of the ICS and the

There are several aspects to consider and “the deployment of cybercrime-specific investigation instruments in cases of terrorist use of the Internet (such as the expedited preservation of computer data) can be advantageous as most countries do not limit the application of sophisticated investigation instrument to traditional cybercrime offences but include any offense involving computer data”(counter-terrorism implemenationtaskforce CTITF). Another example of dealing with terrorist use of the internet is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) they are responsible for the practical aspects of cybersecurity. There major aim is to provide patterns for the development of any consistent cybercrime legislation specifically and terrorist
Nowadays it is becoming harder and harder to commit the perfect crime. Forensic has become very important with supporting in getting a conviction than ever before. It used to be harder to find matching fibers and DNA on a crime scene (Cohen, 2007). The improvements of technology law enforcement has been able to create procedures and tools that assist with making a lot more happen nowadays. When the system was first create it had it glitches.
In the modern digital age, emails have become a standard form of communication on the internet. A criminal’s email traffic offers an alternative source of data pertaining to their criminal activities. Computer forensic analysts must now have a means of analyzing this email traffic. Computer forensic analysts can gain valuable data from emails by using the right tools. This data aids in a criminal investigations or other legal proceedings.
Documented analytical and investigative techniques were extremely important because this case took thirty-one years to solve. The investigation was started by one set of investigators and finished by another set. If there documentation was not very precise it would have been very difficult to pick up were the initial investigators left off at. Identify, collect, examine and preserve digital information is crucial.
In this paper I will be discussing the roles and responsibilities of a forensics officer in a crime scene. When working any crime scene the first and most important rule is maintaining secure control of the scene, and ensuring the safety of bystanders as well as the other personnel working in the area. The easiest way to ensure safety is as soon as the scene is located; you want to cordon off the entire scene with 365 degree security. The purpose for that is to guarantee nothing, or no one goes in or out of the crime scene without proper verification. That not only keeps the crime scene from contamination, but also provides a way to maintain a proper chain of custody on all potential evidence.
(National Infocomm Competency Framework, 2012) Tools/Skill Sets required: Acquiring Data and Evidence: Acquiring data from a computer network environment presents a major challenge for investigators. Evidence from networks and network-attached hardware needs to be copied during an investigation to ensure that it is kept forensically safe. Without tools and training, it is impossible to gather digital evidence, let alone identify and find all the components in a home network such as printers and external hard drives. (National Institude of Justice, 2010)
The book consists of 18 chapters, and provides definitions for key terms in Cybercrime, discusses the tactics, techniques and procedures used by law enforcement agencies to combat cybercrime, offers step by step instruction on conducting forensics on the electronic evidence left behind by cybercriminals. In addition, it provided case studies to give the reader real-life examples and references to the different categories of cybercrime.
introduction: In my opinion heroism means having a perfect qualities or a strong personality, it could be bravery sometimes. heroism is described as great courage (Learner 's Dictionary). Two synonyms for heroism are: fearlessness and daring (Thesauras.com). Antonyms of heroism are: cowardice and fear.
The following section will consider advantages and limitation of the first two mentioned types of digital forensics: Traditional (dead) and Live computer forensics. TRADITIONAL (DEAD) VS LIVE DIGITAL FORENSICS Traditional (Dead) Forensics In order forensic acquisition to be more reliable it must be performed on computers that have been powered off. This type of forensics is known as ‘traditional’ or 'dead ' forensic acquisition. The whole process of dead acquisition, including search and seizure flowchart and acquisition of digital evidence flowchart is shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3 respectively.
Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science concerned with the use of digital information produced, stored and transmitted by computers as source of evidence in investigations and legal proceedings. Digital forensics has existed for as long as computers have stored data that could be used as evidence. For many years, digital forensics was performed primarily by government agencies, but has become common in the commercial sector over the past several years. Originally, much of the analysis software was custom and proprietary and eventually specialized analysis software was made available for both the private and public sectors. The first part of this paper provides a brief overview of digital forensics Process, followed by the models
