This course offers detailed insight into the tools and techniques necessary to take on any Mac case without hesitation.

"From coffee shops to corporate boardrooms, Apple devices are seemingly everywhere. Yet despite the increasing popularity of these devices, most digital forensic investigators and analysts remain focused on Windows-only machines," said Sarah Edwards, SANS Instructor and FOR518 Author.
