Abstract

We have surveyed information technology employees in the corporate environment of the Miami Valley to gauge the interest in transitioning a graduate level digital forensics course to a community college setting. Specifically, we were interested whether a digital forensics security course at the community college level would fill a need in corporate security processes. The survey results indicate that companies and IT employees in the region have a need for and are interested in an accessible digital forensics course. Additionally, the results identify specific needs a digital forensics course can fill. Meeting these needs will then become the primary focus of the course.
