Macintosh Forensic Survival

Friday, July 25, 2008 - Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Steve Whalen, Director, Forward Discovery

Forward Discovery, Inc. (previously Phoenix Data Group, LLC) has seen the need for Macintosh forensic training that is practical to forensic examiners. The training was designed for the student to learn what is needed with a no one left behind attitude in a team work atmosphere through hands on training. Students will walk away with the skills necessary to properly seize, acquire, analyze and document your examination of an Intel-based Macintosh computer in a forensically sound manner. Unlike most, our forensic training is conducted in a logical format which covers the process of conducting a forensic examination of a Macintosh from start to finish in a way that just makes sense. Additionally, our training and material is designed to be a reference to allow an examiner to utilize what you learn after the course is over when it is time for your next Mac exam. We also provide instruction on advance topics such as working with NTFS media and the forensic examination of Apple iPod and iPhone devices.

Forward Discovery instructors have unparalleled experience necessary to help you succeed. Our instructors hold multiple certifications including the IACIS Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE). Each is an accomplished and experienced instructor and examiner having conducted hundreds of examinations for both law enforcement and civil institutions. FD instructors have trained both foreign and national (US) corporate investigators, law enforcement and government officers.
