Felician University – a non-profit, Franciscan institution – and Cellebrite have joined forces to offer two courses that provide veterans with critical skills that can lead to in-demand cybersecurity and digital intelligence jobs.
The courses – Introduction to Mobile Forensics and Mobile Forensic Data Analysis – can be taken alone for career development, applied toward Felician's Cybersecurity Certification program or taken as part of bachelor's or master's degree programs. Eligible students may apply their GI Bill benefits to these courses. Law enforcement personnel may also be able to apply their employer's tuition assistance benefits.
Participants will get hands-on experience analyzing data and be able to take advantage of the 28% projected increase in demand for information security analysts seen by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts the 2018 median salary for Information Security Analysts at $98,350 annually.
- Introduction to Mobile Forensics (BUS260), includes both the Cellebrite Mobile Forensics Fundamentals (CMFF) and the Cellebrite Certified Operator (CCO) courses. Taught by Cellebrite professionals, students will learn mobile device forensics, experiment using forensic processes, recognize proper digital evidence device seizure protocols, examine extracted digital data, and perform extractions on a variety of devices. After the successful completion of the course, students will be awarded the industry-recognized CCO Certification.
- Mobile Forensic Data Analysis ( BUS290) is comprised of the Cellebrite Physical Analyzer (CCPA) course. Focusing on analysis and advanced search techniques using Cellebrite's UFED Physical Analyzer software, students completing this course will be exposed to extensive hands-on training with Cellebrite technology. Successful completion of the course will result in CCPA Certification. The semester-long courses are available 100% online under this program.
