ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

undefinedDigital Forensics Planundefined

Project Selection

The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your Digital Forensics Plan. This organization will be used as the basis for the individual assignment throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

  • Sufficient business scope: The selected organization should be in an industry where it would be reasonably expected to execute a Digital Forensics and Incident Response Plan.
  • Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow focus on the Digital Forensics and Incident Response report planning and execution tasks.

Select an organization that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposed Digital Forensics Plan and what notification will be given for project approval.

Assignment

For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a Digital Forensics & Incident Response Plan with the goal of responding to concentrated attacks attempting to penetrate the organizational network and system. The plan will address product and system vulnerabilities, and then reporting on those findings.

After receiving approval for your proposed project, complete the following tasks.

Task 1: Create a shell for the Digital Forensics Plan. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final report document to gradually complete the final project delivery. All of this will be brought together in final form for the Key Assignment. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the analysis in your plan, and assumptions may be made when necessary.

Overall deliverables for the course are the following:

Week 1: Project Outline and Company Overview; Abstract

Week 2: Threats and Vulnerabilities

Week 3: Computer System Incidents

Week 4: Network and Internet Incidents; Conclusion

Week 5: Risk Mitigation Techniques and Plans
