COURSE OVERVIEW
Computer hacking forensic investigators (CHFIs) administer audits and extract evidence to conduct criminal investigations and report computer crimes to law enforcement agencies. In other words, computer forensics specialists utilize analytical techniques and apply IT security knowledge to gather evidence and participate in investigations. Evidence is often sought when conducting investigations when computer fraud is committed, trade secrets are stolen, intellectual property is infringed upon, or identify theft occurs. Forensic investigators utilize various methods when extracting data in a computer or recovering damaged, encrypted, or deleted files. This course is designed to prepare students to pass the EC0 312-49 examination and become certified as a CHFI.
We are endorsed by the EC-Council as a training provider. We collaborated with premier security trainers to assist us design and create the best certification and training program developed to prepare you for certification exams. This endorsed course provides access to the examination by supplying an Authorization Code. The EC-Council Authorization Code is required to schedule the exam and pay for it. It can be utilized at all Prometric centers. Students without the Authorization Code are not permitted to schedule an exam. This package does not cover exam fees.
