Course Description
The uptake of computers into our everyday working and living space has enabled growth in computer crime, misuse and lack of understanding of legal and ethical issues that surround its use. Concern for security and infiltration has led to a substantial upturn in the need for legal and technical advice, increasing pressure on an industry already straining to keep up with the demand to meet the needs of event-driven work.
The Graduate Certificate in eForensics will provide the knowledge and skills to identify the occurrence of a cybercrime with reference to the current Australian Legal Framework and to undertake the necessary action to handle evidence through the sequence of acquisition, analysis, preservation, presentation and documentation suitable to an Australian court of Law.
