A leading manufacturer of mobile device forensics equipment has entered into a significant partnership with Ferris State University’s Information Security and Intelligence program.
Cellebrite Forensics, a company based in Israel, has provided an Ultimate UFED, or universal forensic extraction device, to extract information from personal computers, and other equipment including cabling kits, according to ISI adjunct instructor Jason Otting.
“The amount of material, in terms of its dollar value on the market, could come to $60,000 to $70,000,” Otting said. “This is a great situation for our program, as bar none, Cellebrite is the industry leader for mobile forensics equipment.”
Otting said that the equipment allows students to practice and complete data extraction from GPS units, Smartphones, SIM cards, SD cards and other handheld devices. The program’s Advanced Digital Forensics class is part of the technical track for the ISI program’s Homeland Security: Digital Security and Forensics minor.
“Digital forensics has moved beyond being the practice of those in governmental intelligence and law enforcement, to the corporate ranks,” Otting said. “Our ISI students can do one of several concentrations, such as data tracing and security, loss investigation or loss protection. Anything that has occurred on that mobile device can be pulled and reviewed.”
