EC-Council also offers another certification for individuals who wish to take up a career in the digital forensics space: Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator, commonly known as CHFI. As the demand for forensic investigators is at its peak with the rise in cyberattacks, this certification gives you the jump start to be one of those digital forensic investigators who helps the industry to find out evidence in a post-breach scenario. As mentioned in our earlier chapters, a digital forensic investigation is the process of identifying the evidence and analyzing it to create reports so that the findings can support the legal process to prosecute criminals, and so you can use the information to prevent future attacks. The CHFI certification will expose you to the concepts and processes of computer investigation and analysis techniques to determine pertinent legal evidence. This evidence may be required for a wide range of computer crime or any other forms of digital misuse, which may include theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, and fraud. During the CHFI certification and training process, you will learn about using various methods to discover data from a computer system involved in digital crime, or in certain cases recovering deleted, encrypted, or damaged files.
