For this assignment, you will discuss the computer forensics presentation guidelines needed to organize, develop, and validate your computer forensics or incident response report with the rest of your forensics or incident response team. You will develop an 8–11-slide presentation detailing the process of how you were able to organize, develop, and validate your forensics or incident response report.
Structure and execute the presentation in the following manner:
Provide a training presentation (with the following format):
- Title slide
- Case identifier (Use C001 or if incident response, use I001)
- Case investigator (student name)
- Date of report
- Slides 2–3: How the forensic or incident response documentation was organized
- Note: This should include how you organized your analysis, evidence logs, investigator notes, witness statements, and digital evidence.
- Slides 3–4: How to develop the forensics presentation
- Note: This should show how an investigator should organize the presentation to show investigator actions and results (what actions were conducted, why they were conducted, and the results of the actions)
- Summary of analysis against evidence items identified in either section of the reports
- Note: This should show how an investigator should organize the presentation to show investigator actions and results (what actions were conducted, why they were conducted, and the results of the actions)
- Slides 5–6: How to create the report
- Note: Describe how the investigator will communicate the results of the case/incident in a report and if computer forensics tools can be used to automate the report generation.
- Slides 7–8: Report technical validation
- Note: Describe how the other forensics team or incident response members should review and validate the evidence analysis and findings in the report.
- Slides 8–9: Report archiving procedures
- Note: Describe how the case must be archived and how the chain of custody must be maintained to include any reports, notes, working papers, and digital evidence.
- Provide an audio recording, starting on Slide 3, summarizing the main points for each slide, and embed the audio on each slide up to the conclusion.
Additional slides may be needed to respond to the requirements above. Please use no more than 11 slides to complete this assignment.
Use APA format with references used either on the slide or in the speaker notes.
Use the slide speaker notes to amplify the bullets stated on the slide. 1–3 paragraphs are usually written in the speaker notes to amplify the bullets on the slide.
Please submit your assignment.
