  Certification
(ISC)² Exploring Risk Standards Certificate - Final Only
In the Exploring Risk Standards Certificate we will take a journey through various result-proven, risk management standards. Risk management is a generic terminology meant to encompass all supporting processes for finding, controlling, and minimizing events which will negatively affect resources or operations. Each organization or entity has unique risk management goals dictated by organizational goals and risk appetite. Risk management practitioners, who are well-versed in various standards, are likely better prepared for the task of assessing and finding risks within various operational constraints.
(ISC)² Practical Risk Methods Certificate
In this certificate learners will review techniques for better comparison and measurement of risks focused on methods for calculating value while assessing and prioritizing risk. Throughout the course, practitioners will be exposed to qualitative and quantitative methods in order to foster consistent and effective estimates of organizational assets and risks. Topics are presented from a practical perspective decoupled from any particular risk management framework or standard.

Basics of Forensic Data Parsing
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses". One of the more challenging obstacles faced by many during digital forensic training is cultural in nature.   Most of us grew up learning Base-10 math and our mind wants to automatically revert to Base 10 when making calculations.  To avoid making errors in digital forensics we need to make a conscious effort to avoid such conversions.    In this course you will review an instructional presentation and engage in a hands-on lab exercise to understand forensic data parsing.
Manually Reconstructing File Names
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses". Most major forensic software suites will recover file names with ease, even those file names that have been deleted.  However, there may be occasions when important data such as file names cannot be recovered automatically and require manual reassembly or some degree of manual intervention.     In this course you will review an instructional presentation and engage in a hands-on lab exercise to obtain a fundamental understanding of the protocols for constructing file names in various file systems and the ways in which to manually recover file names that cannot be reconstructed through automated means.
File Allocation and Tracking in FAT32
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses". Most major forensic software suites will reassemble fragmented files with ease.  However, there may be the occasion when an important file cannot be reassembled automatically and requires manual reassembly.  Digital forensic practitioners must have a fundamental understanding of the fragmentation process in various file systems and how to reassemble a fragmented file.    In this course you will review an instructional presentation and engage in a hands-on lab exercise to understand how data are allocated and tracked on FAT32 file systems. 
Introduction to Image File Forensics
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses". Image file forensics can be one of the most tedious, exhausting, and frustrating investigative processes possible.  It can also be a pure adrenalin rush characterized by excitement and exhilaration that occurs the moment you know your evidence is going to put a suspect in prison.    In this course you will review an instructional presentation and engage in a hands-on lab exercise delivered via a virtual environment to discover the nature, role and scope of digital investigations.  
File Allocation and Tracking in NTFS

Adquisición de datos forenses
*Gratis para los miembros/socios de (ISC)² iniciando sesión arriba y haciendo clic en "Mis cursos". El análisis forense de datos se utiliza para recuperar e investigar evidencia digital que se utilizará en un tribunal en relación con delitos, que incluyen fraude, espionaje, acoso cibernético, robo de datos o delitos violentos. La evidencia forense digital está sujeta a las mismas normas que la evidencia física, lo que significa que debe ser auténtica, admisible y haberse obtenido de manera confiable. Es fundamental que los profesionales de la seguridad comprendan las dificultades técnicas, legales y administrativas que enfrenta el análisis forense de datos para proteger la información reunida antes de entregarla para su análisis y garantizar que la evidencia se sostenga en un tribunal. Este curso de aprendizaje rápido explica el proceso científico del análisis forense digital, los métodos de adquisición de datos, y los principios de manipulación y conservación de la evidencia digital.
フォレンジックデータ取得
*上記でログインして「マイコース」をクリックすると、(ISC)²会員/アソシエイトは無料で利用できます。データフォレンジックは、詐欺、スパイ行為、サイバーストーキング、データ盗難、または暴力犯罪などの犯罪について法廷で使用されるデジタル証拠を回復および調査するために使用されます。デジタルフォレンジックの証拠は、物理的な証拠と同じ基準で扱われます。つまり、本物であり、許容され、確実に取得できるものである必要があります。証拠が法廷で扱われることを保証するために分析に引き渡される前に収集された情報を保護するため、セキュリティ専門家がデータフォレンジックにおいて直面する技術的、法的、および管理上の課題を理解することが重要です。このエクスプレスラーニングコースでは、デジタルフォレンジックの科学的プロセス、データ取得方法、デジタル証拠の処理と保存の原則について説明します。
Preparing for a Zero Trust Initiative
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses."

Preparing for a Zero Trust initiative is paradigm shifting for organizations that are migrating to the Cloud and/or transforming legacy network-based controls for Authentication (AuthN) and Authorization (AuthZ). This course prepares you to be successful by presenting foundational principles, threat scenarios, reference architectures, and a policy governance framework that can be applied to reduce risk.
Securing the Remote Workforce
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses." Although it’s been a growing trend in business circles over the past decade, the subject of remote work has become an increasingly important topic for businesses since early 2020. The increased availability of portable, inexpensive, and highly capable computing and communications technology combined with nearly ubiquitous internet availability means employees no longer need to be constrained within the confines of a corporate office to get their work done using a company’s systems and data. For many workers, all that is needed is a mobile phone or laptop and access to a local internet access point and they have an office, whether that’s in a company building, at home, in a neighborhood café, or at a tropical resort. 
Forensic Data Acquisition
*Free for (ISC)² Members/Associates by logging in above and clicking "My Courses". Data forensics is used to recover and investigate digital evidence to be used in court for crimes including fraud, espionage, cyberstalking, data theft, or violent crimes. Digital forensics evidence is held to the same standards as physical evidence, which means that it must be authentic, admissible, and reliably obtained. It is critical that security professionals understand the technical, legal, and administrative challenges facing data forensics in order to protect the information gathered prior to it being turned over for analysis to ensure the evidence holds up in a court of law. This Express Learning course explains the digital forensics scientific process, data acquisition methods, and digital evidence handling and preservation principles.
