Guest Speaker Confirmed


I like to give students exposure to the real world because it places classroom topics into perspective. Armed with this framework they come to realize things learned in class aren't just marching orders toward a degree.

To that end Mr. Daniel Hooper, Assistant Director of the Intermountain West Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory (iwrcfl), has agreed to serve as a guest lecturer for the INFO3660 class From the lab's web site (www.iwrcfl.org):
-----
An RCFL is a one-stop, full service forensics laboratory devoted entirely to the examination of digital evidence in support of criminal investigations. The IWRCFL and its satellite network support investigations into such crimes as, but not limited to—

    * Terrorism
    * Child Pornography
    * Violent Crimes
    * The Theft or Destruction of Intellectual Property
    * Internet Crime
    * Fraud.

 I met Mr. Hooper at a security conference last month and his presentation provided some great insight into information security and digital forensic issues.
