A Hack Talk Session on Cyber Forensics and Data Security was organised by BCA (Cloud Technology and Information Security Management) in association with InternCan (A Tech Community initiative of BCA) and Techbyheart in the Seminar Hall, St.Teresa’s College Ernakulam on 13th October, 2023. The session was conducted by the Resource Person Mr. Neeraj O, Cyber Security Analyst at TechbyHeart, Kochi.
During the session Mr. Neeraj clearly explained the use of digital forensics in countering cybercrimes, which has been a critical breakthrough in cyber security. It gave insights into the most recent trends in digital forensics, which include cloud forensics, social media forensics, and IoT forensics. These technologies are helping the cyber security professionals to use the digital traces left by the data storage and processing to keep data safe, while identifying the cybercriminals.
The session also provided a hands-on experience in various Cyber forensics tools like FTK, HashCalc and MOBILedit. Hands on learning made the session more interactive and engaging, as the students gained knowledge and skills through direct experience and practice of forensic tools rather than just listening or reading.
