CVF 1091 - Cloud Computing and Virtualization Forensics

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture 2 Lab 2
Course Description: This course focuses on the issues surrounding cloud forensics, cloud deployment and service models, cloud infrastructure, and key considerations in migrating to cloud computing. Using the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as a guide, the course addresses the technologies required to build and support classic (traditional), virtualized, and cloud data center environments. Students will explore the key considerations and steps involved in transitioning from the current model of physical data centers to the emerging cloud-computing environment. The hands-on focus of this class addresses the skills and processes involved in performing forensic investigation and analysis, migrating to a cloud-based infrastructure, and choosing the best deployment model for an organization. The EMCCIS Certification (CIS) exam is part of this course.
