Project 4: Protecting the HomelandStep 9: Provide Digital Forensic Expert Testimony

Each digital forensic investigator will appear in a moot court setting to provide expert testimony video on the information and data collected throughout this course. Testimony will be presented to a panel of judges, to include the CISO and digital forensic investigators from the other FVEY nation teams. Testimony will evaluate national cybersecurity policy and present well-reasoned conclusions, based on the Compilation Report-Out.
When you have completed the Expert Testimony Video, your team should submit it for feedback. To submit your video, upload it to YouTube, paste the URL in a document, and upload the document to the assignment folder by following the instructions below.
