The SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) University developed a new website recently that was targeted at forensic training. The website uses verious training methods to instruct future and current forensic compputer analysists prospects in the methods of analysis and and which crimes to look outfor. The site provides a community-focused environment, and "offering a one-stop resource to learn, discuss, and share current developments in the field of digital forensics." Some of the various crimes detailed on the site are: "fraud, intrusion, insider threats, phishing, and other cyber-crimes." The site is equipped with a team of GIAC Certified Forensic Analysists (GCFA), who provide insights to those who participate in learning from the site. The site also provides a long "list of blogs, podcasts, and other forensics focused resources." The SANS Univeristy's many innovations and resources provide it with the the most trusted seal of foresic computer analysists.

I thought this was an interesting, that such a site could be created. I thought that the way you summarized the training website, explained the purpose of this new learning tool, as well as listing the many types of cyber-crimes that are detailed on the site, were three particularly well presented aspects of the review. Two suggestions would be to possible go into more depth about how the site works, and also an example of who would use the site. Otherwise, I thought this was a good current event, that shows the large role technology is now playing in the learning of Forensic Science.
