Building a Computer Forensics Education Program

Wednesday
Presentation
   Computer Forensics is a relatively new field of study at the academic level, and Mississippi State University is one of the pioneers in this endeavor. Computer forensics has traditionally been practiced by seasoned investigators with years of experience. Unfortunately, the demand has outdistanced any ability to keep up with the workload. The backlog on investigating computer evidence can be a year or more. The academic community is attempting to compensate by teaching the fundamentals of computer forensics to graduating computer scientists in the hopes that they can contribute immediately upon graduation in the technical aspects of the investigations and can learn the rest from experienced investigators. The Center for Computer Security Research (CCSR) at Mississippi State University, a National Security Agency (NSA) Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education, has built a forensics lab and is teaching computer forensics to try and make a difference. It fits in well with our NSA mission.
