Cyber Forensics Xpert - Network and Virtualization

Digital transformation is changing all aspects IT operations. As IT environments grow increasingly complex, virtualization technology can make enterprises of all sizes more efficient, by boosting efficiency and agility. Today, virtualization powers most enterprise applications, so securing the underlying hardware of the virtualization system is critical for businesses in the ever-changing threat landscape.

Star Cyber Forensic Xpert - Network and Virtualization (SCFX) is the most advanced certification in the field of information security. This certification focuses on the two most commonly faced areas of forensic investigation – virtualization and network. SCFX certification provides the practical knowledge of the what, when, where, who and why of an incident within a network and virtual infrastructure. This course first provides the knowledge of various network forensics scenarios and then moves towards the concepts required to investigate the virtual environments.
