ISC2 Offers a New Certification in Cyber Forensics (CCFP)

Cyber forensics, also called computer forensics or digital forensics, is the process of extracting information and data from computers to serve as digital evidence - for civil purposes or, in many cases, to prove and legally prosecute cyber crime.

With technology changing and evolving on a daily basis, cyber forensic professionals must continually keep pace and educate themselves on the new techniques to collect this data. They are tasked with being an expert in forensic techniques and procedures, standards of practice, and legal and ethical principles that will assure the accuracy, completeness and reliability of the digital evidence. CCFP certification is a comprehensive, professional-level credential that validates experienced practitioners’ expertise in the field of cyber forensics, which encompasses digital and computer forensics. It is the first certification available within the forensics discipline that reflects internationally accepted practices while accommodating the specific knowledge required by forensics professionals at a national level. The CCFP was developed by (ISC)², the world's largest not-for-profit information security professional body and administrators of the CISSP® - the gold standard in information security certifications.
