Cellebrite In-System Programming (ISP) Forensic Training



5 days
Advanced-level course

Course Description

Cellebrite In-System Programming (CISP) training is a five (5) day advanced level course lead by Cellebrite Certified Instructors (CCIs). During the CISP course, participants will learn about In-System Programming (ISP) processes and techniques using the precision soldering, eMMC/eMCP theory, and methodologies. Attendees will become familiar with the equipment and accessories necessary to perform direct eMMC/eMCP (ISP) extractions, without the need for chip-off and the destruction of the mobile device.
