Description

The Digital Evidence Collection in an Enterprise Environment (DECEE) is designed to train criminal investigators (or those that routinely serve as part of the investigative team) to identify, search, seize and acquire digital media in a network environment. Investigators are routinely finding that the evidence they need in the furtherance of any investigation may be found on servers regardless of the type of investigation they are conducting. The purpose of this program is to give investigators an understanding of how to identify the server software in question, navigate this system, and collect evidence in a forensically sound manner.

The software and hardware issued during DECEE has been researched and tested in the classroom and in the field. Students will be trained on the use of this equipment during class. At the conclusion of this two-week program, the training participant will have demonstrated, through the successful completion of several practical exercises that they have a functional knowledge of Digital Evidence Collection in an Enterprise Environment.
