Credit Card Fraud, Threatening E-mails, Morphed pictures on Orkut, Tech savvy terrorists, Smart cyber criminals all contribute to making the Indian cyber jungle a difficult place for Indian Law Enforcement personnel.
Increasingly Indian police forces have been forced into playing catch-up in the game of cat and mouse with miscreants in the digital world. The lack of right tools and most importantly the lack of training on the appropriate tools have led to a technical divide between the cyber criminals who operate in today's world and the law enforcement which operate in yesterday's world of conventional policing.
A leading provider of computer forensic and investigation tools & training, AccessData Corp of USA and Foundation Futuristic Technologies (P) Ltd of India has announced a joint partnership To bridge this digital divide. This Joint Partnership will launch Cyber Crime Investigation Boot Camp Training Courses in India. This instructor-lead course is intended for Forensic Investigators, Law Enforcement Personnel, and Security & Network Administrators that are responsible for handling cases relating to digital evidence left on computer hard drives and other digital media.
Computer forensics, also called cyberforensics, is the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques to gather evidence suitable for presentation in a court of law. The goal of computer forensics is to perform a structured investigation while maintaining a documented chain of evidence to find out exactly what happened on a computer and who was responsible for it.
