Lernlabor Cybersicherheit: Introduction to Disk Forensics (Fundamentals Course)

June 27, 2023, 10:00 am – June 29, 2023, 01:00 pm

Location: Online-Seminar

The clarification of IT security incidents is one of the tasks of IT security, IT operations or compliance officers in companies. Often, evidence for this can be found on data carriers in workstation PCs or servers. In this seminar, you will receive an overview of suitable methods of IT forensics for data carriers.

The challenge: IT forensic investigations must be initiated in the event of IT security incidents or criminal acts.
Often, traces of IT security incidents or crimes are found on data carriers in workplace PCs, server computers or mobile devices of the perpetrators or victims. If these IT resources were the target or tool, one must quickly, effectively and evidentially secure these traces from physical data carriers or connected cloud storage.


The solution: among other things, appropriate IT forensics methods must be selected to preserve evidence.
In this training, you will be introduced to the basics of IT forensics with a focus on data carrier forensics (hard disks and SSDs). This includes technical measures such as examining data media for relevant or suspicious information or recovering seemingly "deleted" data. But you will also learn to understand necessary organizational measures: how to plan and conduct an IT forensic investigation and document it in a "court-proof" manner.

This course consists of live lectures as a web seminar. This will be enriched by a series of interactive live demos that will allow you to understand how to perform simple forensic assignments.

Of course, we plan sufficient time for discussions, your questions and breaks. After all, we want our online event to be educational, productive and enjoyable for you at the same time.
