Digital Forensics & Incident Investigation
When a cyber incident or data breach occurs, organisations must act swiftly and methodically to determine the scope of the compromise, preserve volatile evidence, uncover root causes, and prepare actionable findings for legal, regulatory, or internal disciplinary actions.

Course Overview
When a cyber incident or data breach occurs, organisations must act swiftly and methodically to determine the scope of the compromise, preserve volatile evidence, uncover root causes, and prepare actionable findings for legal, regulatory, or internal disciplinary actions. Digital Forensics and Incident Investigation (DFIR) provide the scientific backbone for uncovering how attackers entered, moved laterally, and persisted within enterprise environments. This intensive five-day programme equips incident responders, security analysts, IT administrators, and forensic investigators with a comprehensive, practical framework to conduct forensically sound investigations, acquire physical and digital evidence, analyze system artifacts, and reconstruct complex cyberattacks.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the core legal, ethical, and methodological principles of digital forensics and incident response
- Execute proper evidence handling, chain of custody documentation, and volatile data acquisition
- Perform disk imaging, memory acquisition, and file system analysis across Windows, Linux, and cloud environments
- Investigate endpoint artifacts, event logs, registry keys, and browser histories to trace attacker movements
- Analyze network pcaps, connection logs, and proxy artifacts to identify command-and-control (C2) activity
- Conduct root-cause analysis, attribution, and scope assessment following a cyber incident
- Write clear, comprehensive forensic reports suitable for management, legal teams, and regulatory bodies
- Integrate forensic capabilities with enterprise incident response playbooks and threat intelligence sharing
- Develop metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for DFIR readiness and investigative velocity
- Develop a practical 90-Day Digital Forensics and Incident Response Improvement Roadmap
