| The IDEA training program teaches the student how to navigate through the two most commonly used computer forensic suites, at least in the United States, Guidance Softwares EnCase and AccessDatas Ultimate Toolkit. Additionally it will provide the student with an introduction to digital forensic specific legal issues. This one-week course is considered a mandatory prerequisite for attendance at the two-week Seized Computer Evidence Recovery Specialist Training Program (SCERS), which immediately follows this course. (See SCERS web page for specifics on that course.) The IDEA training program is a course born out of necessity. As the digital forensic suites have become more and more powerful, the amount of time needed to adequately teach their interface has grown accordingly. This has necessitated a rethink of how SCERS will proceed in the future. During the last curriculum review conference, partner organization members agreed that the time had come to add training time to SCERS to help alleviate the high tempo and stress associated with that tempo. The result was the IDEA course which is designed as an introduction to the interfaces of the forensic suites currently being taught in SCERS. Additionally, it gives the student time for an introduction/refresher on the current trends in digital law, at the federal level. Finally, and most importantly, this frees up valuable time in SCERS to teach more in-depth artifacts and a greater variety of forensic techniques than was previously available. DEASTP will still remain as a requirement for attendance at SCERS, as it teaches the proper methodology for acquiring digital evidence in a forensically sound manner; SCERS teaches how to analyze this data. They are two distinct skill-sets and both are required for offices where the digital evidence examiner must also respond to the scene and collect the evidence. SCERS does not incorporate any data acquisition in the curriculum which is one of the reasons DEASTP i | |||
