The IACIS Mobile Device Forensics Training Program is a 36-hour course of instruction offered over five (5) consecutive days. This program will expand the students’ existing mobile forensic knowledge and skillset. It is designed to provide students with intermediate to advanced skills needed to detect, decode, decrypt, and analyze evidence recovered from mobile devices during mobile device investigations.
Using instructor-led exercises and hands-on practicals, students will learn the necessary skills to go behind the automation processes of popular mobile forensic tools and will have gained the competency to apply these skills during an investigation to reveal the sources of cell phone data used to store evidence. Upon the completion of the course, students will be confident in knowing they can gather and explain the data they have located during a mobile device examination.
Although the program will provide some of the skills and materials needed to prepare for their ICMDE certification, this specific training program is NOT designed as a class specific to the certification. Students who have the desire to take the ICMDE will need to complete additional reading and study of the provided materials, as well as the recommended study material, to obtain a deeper understanding needed for preparing to take the ICMDE.
