Tina Yeo, Program Co-Coordinator for Computer Crime, recently pointed out this article to me. It’s an interesting interview with Rob Lee of SANS Institute, talking about the different skills a computer forensics professional will need to develop in order to have a successful career, especially in light of changes from hard-disk information storage to storage in the cloud:
“Forensics in the cloud, not necessarily a new field, requires a new skill set and being able to learn on the fly. Analysts also need to be proficient in mobile devices, operating systems, network forensics and the common hacking methodology…”
In the interview, Lee also discusses:
- Identifying and overcoming key challenges;
- The new skills required for forensics in the cloud;
- Advice for those looking to shift their career into forensics.
