Three-day workshop: Internet & Social Media Investigative Techniques

April 20, 2021 by Cynthia van Ginkel

Coming next month:

FSCT 0090 – Internet & Social Media Investigative Techniques

This 3-day hands-on workshop will provide students with the latest techniques used to effectively gather online information for investigative purposes relating to persons, companies, and other assets.

Students will be introduced to the methods of gathering online intelligence through social media platforms, search engines, and dark web searches. In addition, students will learn how to assess potential counter-intelligence concerns.

Particular emphasis will be placed on heightened awareness and the “paper trail” investigators may leave behind when using internet investigation tools. Approaches to maintain privacy and security when carrying out online investigations will also be explored and students will be introduced to a variety of online search methodologies.

May 24-26
