Criminals don't just leave footprints at physical crime scenes anymore. They leave digital ones. In deleted files, encrypted messages, network logs, and metadata that most people don't even know exists. Digital forensics is the discipline that finds them. This program shows you how.

The Micro Credential Program in Digital Forensics and Cyber Security introduces you to the world of cyber crime investigation and digital evidence analysis. We are living in an era where the most consequential crimes happen entirely online, and hence, the ability to investigate, document, and present digital evidence has never been more valuable, and this program focuses on the skills you need to develop.

You will learn what digital forensics is, how cybercrime has evolved, the range of threats investigators encounter today, and investigative approaches to handle various threats like hacking, phishing, fraud, and cyber terrorism.

You will develop knowledge of how digital evidence is identified, collected, and preserved, including the critical protocols that first responders follow to ensure nothing is compromised from the moment a device is seized along with the significance of chain of custody, documentation, and data acquisition.

The program provides you insights about system and network forensics, including analysis of operating systems, log files, and network traffic. Learners will understand how to investigate cyber attacks, detect intrusions, and use tools such as intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and monitoring techniques to gather evidence.

In addition, the course introduces widely used forensic tools such as FTK and EnCase, along with mobile forensics, data recovery, and web-based investigations. Topics like password cracking and steganography are also explored to understand advanced investigative techniques.

Finally, you will study email investigations, cryptography, and digital signatures and what it takes to present digital evidence clearly and credibly in court. Report writing, ethical responsibilities, and the role of the forensic expert as a witness will also be covered.

By the end of this program, you will be equipped with an understanding of forensic investigation in a digital world that never stops evolving.
