Digital Forensics
We are driven to study the Data Acquisition and Data Analysis of various devices and platforms to include Computers, Servers, Mobile Devices, and Social Media.
Our affiliation with Law Enforcement Agencies and Private Firms provides our members real world exposure to Forensic Analysis, including how acquired data is used to articulate fact patterns for court testimony.
Cyber Crime
Cyber Crime as a resource leads our group to understanding current issues and the roles of Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics in the events studied.
Our engagement with Law Enforcement Agencies provides up to date information on how criminal networks are organized and what can be done to protect citizens and networks in cyberspace.
Cybersecurity
We are driven to study strengthening the resilience of networks in cyberspace. We learn from our engagement with Government Law Enforcement and Private Agencies that focus on hardening networks and mitigating threats from within.
To have a better understanding of what it takes to achieve risk management, we also study penetration exercises on various platforms and systems.
