IT 532 - IACIS Digital Forensics
Digital Forensics
Forensics, now commonly referred to as "digital
forensics," has been a specialized field for many years, but most experts
in the field are self-taught. The development of the Internet and the universal
access of computers have increased the demand for digital research. Computers
can be used to commit crimes and crimes can be recorded, including violations
of company policies, hacking, email harassment, murder, extortion of personal
information, and even violence. Police, network administrators, lawyers and
private investigators now rely on the skills of digital forensics experts to
investigate criminal and legal matters.
As operating systems, computers and mobile devices, and forensic software tools change more rapidly, the next generation of forensics professionals need more initial training. Forensics, now commonly referred to as "digital forensics," has been a specialized field for many years, but most experts in the field are self-taught. The development of the Internet and the universal access of computers have increased the demand for digital research. Computers can be used to commit crimes and crimes can be recorded, including violations of company policies, hacking, email harassment, murder, extortion of personal information, and even violence. Police, network administrators, lawyers and private investigators now rely on the skills of digital forensics experts to investigate criminal and legal matters. As the world becomes more transparent and more and more people access the same information online (Thomas L. Freidman, The World Is Flat, Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 2005), the need for technology should increase rapidly. The definition of forensic informatics has also changed over the years; It only includes the storage and analysis of digital data stored on computers used as evidence in civil, criminal or administrative cases. Ken Zatyko is the director of the Forensic Computer Forensics Lab, where he writes in many specialties, including forensics, network forensics, video forensics, and more. It is defined as "the application of computer science and research techniques, including analysis of digital evidence (value data stored or transmitted in binary form), mathematical analysis (hash functions), use of forensic tools, reconstruction, publication for legal purposes" and the ability to offer expertise” (“Review: Defining Digital Forensics”, Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2007). Protecting assets and managing situations without prosecuting or hiring employees is not about digital forensics prosecution or validity of evidence.
Computer forensics Professional organizations
Many groups have tried to create an internationally
recognized certification in digital forensics, but have failed. However, they
did gain recognition for experts like the National Scientists. International
standardization is required as digital evidence and materials are available
worldwide.
According to DIBS USA, Inc. (www.dibsforensics.com),
founded in 1990, is a privately held company specializing in forensics, which
involves searching and analyzing computer-stored data used as evidence in
court. "Systems and Communications Guidelines," a new report from the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
CART consists of professional and non-certified computer professionals with the knowledge and skills to analyze computer-related information and understand content. Especially among police officers in the community. CART offers a wide range of computer equipment as well as electronic equipment designed for computer diagnostics. Local investigators must follow various guidelines when collecting computer evidence and presenting it to the FBI. They now need to take steps to protect data stored on computer hard drives and disposable floppy disks. Information stored on computers is subject to different laws depending on the nature of the information. Many state and federal courts have decided and clarified how these rules apply to digital evidence. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (and all state constitutions) protects everyone's right to be exempt from search and seizure of persons, homes, and property. The continued evolution of the reform law has played a role in determining whether the search for digital evidence should be prioritized without requiring a separate search. However, when preparing to gather evidence about a crime, many investigators still provide the suspect's computer and investigation data to avoid future problems.
IACIS - The International Association of Computer investigative experts.
IACIS is a non-profit membership organization whose mission is to provide legal education and certification (CFCE) and to build a network of digital lawyers or examiners. This group of experts are people who are experts in various fields. They have different expertise and play a major role in keeping the digital world safe for the community.
It was October 1989, the Dalai Lama had just won the Nobel Peace Prize, and Bette Davis, the first woman of American cinema, died in Georgia at the age of 81. It was called "FLETC" or many people's names. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Brunswick, Georgia has a long and rich history as a Federal law enforcement training center. Courses are now available to train students on how to obtain, analyze and extract evidence from computers used to facilitate or commit crimes.
The forensic course was originally called "Computer Investigation Specialist" but later changed its name to "Computer Search and Evidence Recovery" or SCER. The development and delivery of the SCER curriculum is a true collaboration with federal, state and local authorities and potential members of the software community. Developers and key instructors include Michael R. Anderson, Chuck Rehling, Jerry Pierce, Chuck Taylor, Robert Kelso, Mark Rouche, and Tom Waters of Canada Taxation and the Taxation Institute in Vancouver, BC. The freshman year will enroll 21 students to form the IACIS chapter, which will not only become a model for forensic education, but also influence the future of forensic science.
The International Association of Computing Professionals (IACIS) was founded on October 23, 1989. On this great day in history, 20 officers came together to complete the process of becoming an informatics forensics organization in the world. Although the first meeting does not last more than two hours, the name of the organization, its mission / mission, structure, organization, details of the managers, member selection process, powers and responsibilities of the chairman, meeting types, required membership decisions, membership qualifications and fees. Two hours after the meeting! An important issue that was decided at the meeting numbered was the name of the new organization.
Finally, there was a choice between the International Association of Computer Professionals (IACIS) and the International Federation of Computer Professionals (IFCIS), and IACIS won by 13 votes to 7. It was also decided that the authorities should be opened. Complete the SCER training. And become a member of IACIS.
Ethics
One of the main rules of the IACIS organization is the Code of Ethics. Our organization was founded on the principles of fairness and justice, which are strong pillars of IACIS even today. Members must abide by these principles as they go through the certification and renewal process. Did you know that the most common crime is cheating on a certification exam? These crimes are very rare. IACIS members are required to demonstrate and maintain the highest standards of ethical behavior.
- Must uphold the highest standards of integrity and report relevant facts in all forensic investigations.
- Qualitative review and evidence review.
- Tests are based on proven standards.
