Law Enforcement Intelligence Emphasis Area Electives
CYBV 381 provides students with the foundational knowledge of the Incident Response process leveraging the PICERL framework and NIST guidelines from the context of investigating incidents under the umbrella of Digital Forensics. Students will learn aspects of Incident Response, Forensics Fundamentals, Network Evidence Collection, Host and Network based evidence acquisition and analysis, and introduce Forensics Reporting, Malware Analysis, and Threat Intelligence.
INTV 354 will provide students with an overview of the fundamentals of Open Source Intelligence. Students will be presented with the most effective methodologies used by cyber professionals, law enforcement, and other investigative personnel to locate and analyze information on the Internet and Dark Web. Students will use interactive exercises to become familiar with the volume of sensitive data on the Internet and how it can be exploited to develop highly detailed intelligence products.
CYBV 383 provides students with in depth knowledge conducting a forensic investigation focusing on mobile devices. It is estimated that over 50% of all network traffic is generated from mobile phones. These devices contain vital evidence for investigators including geolocation, connection data, contacts, and various pattern of life details. This course will focus on iOS and Android devices with a brief discussion on Windows devices. This course will teach students how to retrieve data effectively from the devices and the cloud using the latest techniques in mobile forensics.
INTV 401 is designed to provide Intelligence and Information Operations students with an opportunity to explore the integration of intelligence-led policing with community-based policing and problem-oriented policing. Focus will be placed on educating students on the process of developing raw information into actionable intelligence, thereby allowing field officers to be more effective during routine law enforcement functions. Students will also learn the intelligence principles that exist within the daily operations of law enforcement.
