The Certified Cyber Forensics Professional (CCFP) is the latest certification from ISC2, creators of the CISSP certification.
The CCFP, like the CISSP, is built around a common body of knowledge (CBK) that includes established forensics disciplines as well as newer challenges, such as mobile forensics, cloud forensics, anti-forensics, and more.
For those looking for reference guide, the Official (ISC) 2 Guide to the CCFP CBK is one of two guides currently available. The other being the CCFP Certified Cyber Forensics Professional All-in-One Exam Guide by Chuck Easttom.
As to the Official (ISC) 2 Guide to the CCFP CBK, the book is written by experience cast of authors and contributors. While listed at 992 pages, a number of the chapters have large fonts, more akin to a large-print edition to accommodate people who have poor vision.
Some of the material has overlap given the numerous authors. It would be helpful if the material could also be better cross-referenced. But that is the difficulty of a reference text with many authors.
The book covers in depth the six CCFP domains of the CBK, namely:
- legal and ethical principles
- investigations
- forensic science
- digital forensics
- application forensics
- hybrid and emerging technologies
For the experienced forensics professional looking to get a handle on the content for the CCFP exam, the Official (ISC) 2 Guide to the CCFP CBK is a decent study guide, at least until something better comes along.
