Graduates of a computer forensics program will have options to work in a variety of fields from networking and security of computer systems through to investigation of computer, economic and internet crimes. Since identity theft and security of online transactions has become more problematic in the last few years and seems to only continue to increase, the demand for those trained in investigation and identification of computer crimes will continue to be in high demand.
