Cybercrime universally causes harm to individuals, SMEs, primes, critical infrastructure systems, and governments. As we live in the Internet era, devices connected to the Internet can be exposed to cyber threats. Cyber assurance is vital for business continuity, and security of our business processes, supply chain systems, and data systems.

The role of computer and internet forensics in cybersecurity is to identify, preserve, analyse, and present digital evidence in a manner that is legally admissible. It helps in detecting and responding to cyber threats and attacks by uncovering the methods and extent of breaches, thereby aiding in the prosecution of cybercriminals. Additionally, computer and internet forensics provides critical insights that inform the development of stronger security measures, contributing to the overall protection of digital assets and systems.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of digital forensics, focusing on the investigation and analysis of digital devices and internet-based activities.
