This course covers material necessary to take the ISACA CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) exam, a professional certification that allows information system (IS) auditors to properly follow the IS audit process in risk management. You will learn how to identify assets and threats, hardening IT computing environments, performing IT forensics, and auditing tasks. This course explores the importance of gathering, handling, and storing digital evidence to ensure its admissible in a court of law. Because chain-of-custody laws vary around the world, it is important to know how the evidence was gathered, where it was stored, and who had access to the evidence. Learners will explore digital forensics, chain of custody, order of volatility, and hard disk imaging. You will see a list of common digital forensic hardware and software, and IT component collection as evidence. Finally, this course demonstrates how to use tools in Kali Linux, such as the autopsy forensic browser tool to view user data, and how to retrieve data from an image.
