The goal of the book, as the authors put it, is to teach “students who want to learn about electronic evidence – including what types exist and where it may be found – and the computer forensics methods to investigate it†so that they will be prepared “in a career in information security, criminal justice, accounting, law enforcement, and federal investigations – as well as computer forensics.â€</p><p class="JDFSLParagraph">Linda, Reynaldo, and Jana are not only experienced college professors, but also industry bounded professionals. All of them have substantial working experience with law firms or law enforcement in dealing with both civil and criminal cases. They are all certified information system security professionals (CISSP). Their teaching experience at the college level and their working experience on real cases make this book a must-read book for a college professor.</p><p class="JDFSLParagraph">(see PDF for full review)</p> |
