Fellowship
The ACFTI Fellowship is a prestigious recognition awarded to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievements, expertise, and contributions to cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations.
In our association, Fellows are an integral part of the work we do at the ACFTI, sharing their knowledge and skills to advance the practice of cybersecurity and digital forensics.
They do this by, among other things, helping the association develop best practice guidance, providing input into the creation of standards, and supporting other members as mentors.
With the support of our Fellows, we’re able to promote cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations of the highest standards, drive professionalism, and raise awareness of this valuable community to the wider world.
ACFTI Fellows are able to demonstrate that they have made outstanding contributions to the cybersecurity and digital forensics professions and the association.
As an association, we value the diversity that professionals with differing backgrounds and expertise bring to the sector, and we want to continue to recognize their contributions.
