Under its ever-expanding Expert Training portfolio, Kaspersky released a new cybersecurity course on digital forensics. This training is where InfoSec professionals can master the techniques of identifying, processing, and analyzing digital evidence with experienced Kaspersky experts.
The ‘Windows Digital Forensics’ course is designed to provide trainees with a fundamental understanding of digital forensics by offering valuable insights and hands-on experience.
For context, there are over one-fifth of cyberattacks persisted over a month last year, urging businesses to focus on the shorter “detection-to-resolution” times. However, skills shortage is one of the problems that prevents successful incident management.
To address this, Kaspersky has developed a training course that covers one of the important parts of the incident response process, helping professionals gain the necessary skills. With this course, cybersecurity professionals hone their ability to detect digital traces of an attacks development in cases when attacks may happen despite all prevention measures being in place.
The course involves learning the methods of obtaining diverse digital evidence, finding traces of malicious actions, and using timestamps from various Windows artifacts to reconstruct an incident scenario. They will also gain expertise in analyzing browser and email histories. By the end of the course, trainees will be proficient in incident scoping, evidence acquisition, log file analysis, network analysis, creation of Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), and memory forensics.
After finishing the course, trainees can apply their newly acquired knowledge in a virtual lab, designed to assess the participant’s level of understanding and further sharpen their practical skills.
The course was developed by Ayman Shaaban, Digital Forensics and Incident Response Group Manager at Kaspersky, bringing extensive expertise in cybersecurity gained over many years.
“During this training course, you will get acquainting with digital forensics as an important part of the incident response process and will be equipped with useful knowledge that help you to swiftly handle, contain, understand and recover from cyber-attacks and effectively minimize their impact in the quickest way possible,” shared Ayman Shaaban.
