Introduction:
Digital forensic practices stem from forensic science, the science of collecting and examining evidence or materials. Digital or computer forensics focuses on the digital domain including computer forensics, network forensics, and mobile forensics. As the cyber security profession evolves, organizations are learning the importance of employing digital forensic practices into their everyday activities. Computer forensic practices can help investigate attacks, system anomalies, or even help System administrators detect a problem by defining what is normal functional specifications and validating system information for irregular behaviours.
In the event of a cyber-attack or incident, it is critical investigations be carried out in a manner that is forensically sound to preserve evidence in the event of a breach of the law. Far too many cyber-attacks are occurring across the globe where laws are clearly broken and due to improper or non-existent forensic investigations, the cyber criminals go either unidentified, undetected, or are simply not prosecuted.
Cyber Security professionals who acquire a firm grasp on the principles of digital forensics can become invaluable members of Incident Handling and Incident response teams. The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator course provides a strong baseline knowledge of key concepts and practices in the digital forensic domains relevant to today’s organizations. CHFI provides its attendees a firm grasp on the domains of digital forensics.

EC-Council Overview
To beat a hacker, you need to think like one…
Ethical Hacking is the process of proactively penetrating systems, to which one has official permission to do so, with a view to determining whether vulnerabilities exist and then to undertake the necessary preventive, corrective, and protective countermeasures before an actual compromise to the systems can occur.
Torque IT’s authorised EC-Council training, and associated certification, solutions empower you to identify vulnerabilities and to assess the security posture of target systems. EC-Council certifications are universally recognised as demonstrating a high level of expertise and credibility for individuals and the organisations that employ them.
Torque IT being an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC) has been the recipient of EC-Council’s most prestigious ATC of the year awards for 2016, 2014 and EC-Council’s Circle of Excellence Awards for 2015.
These achievements reflect our commitment to providing you with quality skills development, enablement, training, and certification solutions that demonstrate exceptional quality, depth and breadth.
