Education

Education means different things to different people. To some, it means a college and a goal of a degree or certificate. To others, it means attending a vendor's training program. Still, others are self-taught and prefer to either use online resources or books. All of these are valid ways to get educated on cyber forensics & threat investigations, pick up new skills, and polish existing ones. Here are sections to help both the newly interested and the long-time practitioner in whatever way they prefer. 

One of the questions frequently asked is what types of things someone who wants to get into the field should be studying--an educational roadmap. These are the basic building blocks so the person will be able to make the most of the specialised cyber forensics & threat investigations training later. Here is what the ACFTI founders have come up with, and comments are welcome via email.

This won't get someone to the point of being a cyber forensics & threat investigations practitioner, but it will prepare them for the specialized study that is required to learn to do the job well. It will make it easier to understand the cyber forensic & threat investigations concepts.
