Aaron,
As Ivan pointed out, I think that knowing the basics principals and security fundamentals is all you can do. In the field of data forensics I would recommend having or at least knowing about particular certifications. EnCase ( http://www.guidancesoftware.com/training/index.aspx ) is the industry leader in data forensics where techniques and evidence collection have been recognized by courts worldwide. Data forensics is such a new market, general IT security is just now being taken seriously, there are not a ton of established world recognized organizations with published standards. It just has not matured yet. So I don't think any reasonable employer would expect you to be an expert in all that is data forensics. I think knowing the regulatory laws regarding data would be your best place to start. In America you should know about the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in particular complying with section 404. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, FERC/NERC, FFIEC & CLBA, and ITIL. Some international standards are ISO 17799, EU Directive, and UK Data Protection. Good Luck.

Best advice is to know you your stuff, and in the event you don't know something, know where to look and how to find it. Look at it this way, its problem solving. eg, Someone at your work is accused of surfing p0rn. What will you do to gather evidence that may be admissible in court, in the event of the employee being terminated and a wrongful dismissal case brought. Scenario questions are more than likely cheers Ivan On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 9:53 PM, Anders B Jansson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Because if he doesn't know the industry he shouldn't seek, nor get, that kind of job. n3td3v wrote: > You sound like you know the industry, so why don't you give him some tips? > > On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 8:28 AM, James Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> If you know the industry then you will be able to answer the questions. >> >> On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 9:58 AM, Aaron S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I have an interview with a government agency for the post of Computer >>> Forensics Officer.
