Follow on Google News | (ISC)²® Collaborates with DSCI to Develop its Certified Cyber Forensics Professional Cert in IndiaExam registration now open for CCFP-IN; First exam available May 15, 2014
By: (ISC)2 The CCFP is the only global standard currently available for assessing experienced digital forensics professionals’ The CCFP is an expert-level credential that offers a common, internationally recognised body of knowledge. It exposes a comprehensive, yet advanced knowledge that today’s experienced cyber forensics practitioners must demonstrate. Many of the existing certifications available today are of a foundational level and focus on a narrow aspect of the cyber forensics realm. “It is critical in India that we have an objective measure of excellence valued by courts and employers alike for indicating the ability to apply forensics to information security disciplines, such as e-discovery, malware analysis, or incident response,” said Dr. Kamlesh Bajaj, CEO, DSCI. “The (ISC)² CCFP is a good fit for this need and we share (ISC)²’s mission in benchmarking trained cyber forensics experts by professionalizing the workforce of the future.” “As part of the localization team for CCFP-IN, we have incorporated local skills requirements for digital forensics professionals in India into CCFP content. The upcoming official (ISC)² training that DSCI will offer will benefit local cyber forensics practitioners, especially in conducting digital investigations following a breach and protection of the digital evidence trail,” K. Venkatesh Murthy, CCFP-US, GCFA, senior manager, Cyber Forensics at DSCI. The CCFP spans the digital forensics and information security disciplines. The six (ISC)² Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®) domains within the credential include: • Legal & Ethical Principles • Investigations • Forensic Science • Digital Forensics • Application Forensics • Hybrid & Emerging Technologies “The CCFP is localized for different regions or countries to ensure that security professionals are trained in digital evidence laws specific the country or region in which they work,” said W. Hord Tipton, CISSP, executive director, (ISC)². “The development of CCFP-IN re-affirms the dedication of (ISC)² to support the Indian market, first exemplified by the opening of the (ISC)² India office in Mumbai in December 2013. We applaud DSCI’s effort to localize CCFP for the information security forensics community in India and look forward to making more localized versions of the CCFP certification available throughout the Asia-Pacific region in the future.” CCFP-IN is suitable for corporate investigators and government entities including: • Digital forensics examiners in law enforcement to support cybercrime investigations; • Cybercrime and cybersecurity professionals working in the government or private sectors; • Computer forensics engineers & managers working in corporate information security; • Digital forensics and e-Discovery consultants focused on litigation support; • Cyber intelligence analysts working for defense/intelligence agencies; • And computer forensic consultants working for management or specialty consulting firms. To attain the CCFP, applicants must hold a four-year degree leading to a Baccalaureate or regional equivalent and have at least three years of cumulative paid, full-time, professional experience in digital forensics or IT security in three out of the six domains of the credential.
