Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Technology Forensics] From University of Advancing Technology

Students in the Technology Forensics degree will learn methods to obtain and document digital information, determine how information was compromised, trace attribution of malicious code and digital artifacts, and reverse engineer data in order to develop mitigations and countermeasures. Topics of study may include methods for discovering data in computers, networks and hand-held devices; recovering deleted, encrypted, corrupted or hidden information; the proper handling of evidence in accordance with laws and regulations; advanced malware detection; reverse engineering; and investigation of malicious code from a variety of sources including both common threat sources and the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT).

This program will prepare students to anticipate new and emerging technologies so they can be successful within the rapidly evolving computer forensic environment and the increasingly complex threat landscape. This program provides students with the opportunity to synthesize and apply the vital skills and knowledge necessary to not only succeed in the workforce but to have a highly desirable and technical education setting them apart from traditional digital forensics programs. Instruction will lead students into hands-on and real-world situations, where they will gain invaluable experience working with actual systems, software and networks.?
