Re: Input on setting up a digital forensics lab

Hello,

I would recommend taking a look at Tony Robinson’s massive documentation project on creating Virtual Labs. It covers 
various products both free and non-free (VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox). It will give you guidance on how to both create 
a secure environment with a virtual lab, and help you get more value from the hardware you are using.

There is a good summary of the project at Peerlyst:

Best of luck to you.

Subject: [SECURITY] Input on setting up a digital forensics lab

Good day all,

I'm with a university in Zimbabwe that is offering a degree programme related to Cybersecurity and we're looking to set 
up a digital forensics lab (the first in our country) to supplement forensics related courses in the curriculum. As a 
relatively young institute, I think we could benefit from the institutes with experience regarding this.  My question 
is, are there any possible suggestions as to ways (e.g. potential partnerships with international commercial companies 
like Cellebrite) that can help reduce the total cost of setting such a lab up at a public university?

Kind regards,
