‘As a busy Hi-Tech Crime Unit we are experiencing more and more submissions of Apple Mac computers. Having recently completed the 7Safe Applied Apple Mac Forensics: CMFS certification, this provided an excellent grounding for me to complete a complex investigation into a dangerous confidential case.
The course is based around examining Apple computers using Windows based systems. Therefore being a relatively new user to Macs, I was not prevented from completing a full examination through my lack of user-based knowledge. 7Safe continue to produce quality certifications with up to date and relevant content, the likes of which I have not experienced elsewhere’
