- Digital Forensics and Incident Response
This course aims to provide advanced knowledge in incident response across an enterprise. The focus is on identifying breaches and responding to incidents larger than a single machine. Students will gain knowledge of main process models used in incident response, automation of incident response, and the importance of large-scale documentation and evidence preservation. They will also develop skills in dealing with complex advanced incidents and using advanced techniques to handle enterprise level incidents. Furthermore, students will demonstrate their ability to communicate complex information to relevant stakeholders and systematically approach complex problems.

- Teaching will be based on a hybrid-flexible approach. Instructor-led face-to-face learning is combined with online learning in a flexible course structure that gives students the option of attending sessions in the classroom, participating online, or doing both.
- All activities require active student participation in their own learning.
- Learning delivery methods and available resources will be selected to ensure constructive alignment with course content, learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
- Students will be taught using a mixture of guidance, self-study, and lecture material. Topics will be introduced in a series of weekly lectures. The guidance sessions will be directed practical exercises and reading in which students can explore topics with support from a teacher. This material will also require students to self-manage their time to ensure tasks are completed and the theory is fully understood. This will allow the students to fully engage with lectures and with their peers.
- Learning resources are available in the LMS and include, but is not limited to:
- literature and online reading material (essential and recommended)
- streams, recordings and other digital resources, where applicable
- video conferencing and communication platforms, if applicable
- tools, software and libraries, where applicable
- Students must have access to an internet connection, and suitable hardware.
- Accessing live streams and virtual laboratories requires a minimum broadband connection of 2Mbps (4Mbps recommended).
- Students working on their own laptop/computer are required to acquire appropriate communications software, e.g., webcam, microphone, headphones.
