Association of Cyber Forensics and Threat Investigators (ACFTI)

Welcome

The Association of Cyber Forensics and Threat Investigators (ACFTI) is an ambitious, non-governmental, non-profit technical organization focusing on the academics and practitioners of cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations and their influence on society. Our main aim is to inspire the next generation of underrepresented groups to flourish by creating a learning community of researchers, academics, practitioners, and students that connects future cybersecurity practitioners and researchers on campus with leading academics and industry professionals. ACFTI started in 2016 as an initiative in Chile dedicated to promoting all areas of cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations, but efforts were systematically consolidated by the end of January 2020 in the United Kingdom to report new developments and the latest proven methodologies and to publish scholarly research presenting the current research issues and advances in the mentioned areas. ACFTI is listed in the Union of International Associations with UIA Org ID AA1922.

ACFTI insists that any company, organization, or community should have an early investment in cybersecurity in order to prevent cyber-threats when their systems are connected to the Internet.

ACFTI has just started the process of organizing international conferences jointly with universities. This comes as a direct result of the ever-growing levels of understanding and confidence between ACFTI and the academic community.

ACFTI supports the Journal of Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations, cybersecurity-related conferences, and a mailing list server in support of the journal, conferences, and other issues relating to cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations.

ACFTI supports other organizations, conferences, and journals. Cooperation and communications between the ACFTI and others regarding timing, promotion, and venue to maximize the effectiveness of events and other offerings.

ACFTI has just started getting involved in international joint research projects. Additionally, ACFTI is involved in well-established training programs, that are aimed at increasing technical awareness among young professionals in a wide scope of cybersecurity, and cyber forensics fields.
