Timeline analysis Threats, Tactics, and Defenses
RCCE students will learn digital forensics acquisition, evidence handling, timeline reconstruction, memory and disk analysis, and forensic reporting. RCCE students will learn to collect and preserve digital evidence following forensically sound procedures, reconstruct attack timelines from multiple artifact sources, perform forensic analysis on endpoints, memory, networks, and cloud environments, and produce investigation reports that withstand legal and regulatory scrutiny. This threat-focused course teaches students to think like adversaries while building robust defenses. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to analyze attack techniques, build detection logic, and implement defensive strategies that proactively identify threats before they cause damage. Students develop a threat-informed mindset that drives better security decisions across all operational activities.
