This course examines the role of the security/forensics analyst whose focus is on targeted malware, zero-day attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs). Students will learn the concepts and methodology of digital forensics investigations, including the malevolence of a network attack, the means by which it is carried out and how malware spreads. They will use RSA NetWitness Spectrum, Investigator, and Live! to practice basic skills used to detect malware. Students will also report on results and make recommendations for corrective actions.
