Introduction to Digital Forensics

Introduction to Digital Forensics gives learners a beginner-friendly overview of how digital evidence is identified, preserved, examined, analyzed, and reported during security investigations. The course introduces core forensic principles, evidence handling, chain of custody, acquisition concepts, analysis workflows, and the importance of clear documentation throughout the investigation process. Learners connect these concepts to cybersecurity scenarios where endpoint data, files, network activity, logs, or system artifacts can help explain what happened during an incident. The course also helps learners understand why careful evidence handling and structured analysis are essential for accurate investigation outcomes. This course supports CCNA Cybersecurity-aligned study while helping beginners build a careful, evidence-focused mindset for digital investigations, incident analysis, and security response activities.
