Join Our Mailing-List
The ACFTI is a non-profit technical organization dedicated to the advancement of the cross-disciplinary fields of cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations. It is a resource and support network promoting critical and scholarly research independent from traditional disciplines and existing cross academic borders. The association is international in scope.
The ACFTI mailing-list is an opt-in mailing list hosted on Concept Tech Int. Ltd servers and is available to all academics and practitioners involved in the fields of cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations. Only those who opt-in (subscribe) may receive posts from the list. The mailing list is used only for topics directly related to the fields of cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations. It may include issues in curriculum design and development, open research & academic positions, new journals, conferences CFP, and new research topics.
Questions and/or Posts to the mailing list should be addressed to acfti (at) conceptechint (dot) net

Submission guidelines to read before sending any Job or CFP posts
Journal/Conference/Workshop - Call for Papers
To have a conference/journal distributed on the ACFTI mailing-list, please submit an ASCII text version of the CFP to
acfti (at) conceptechint (dot) net.
Your email message should contain the name of the journal/conference/workshop, the exact date it is being held, and the submission deadline including the year, place, a concise text version of the call-for-papers, and a URL for the journal/conference/workshop website.
The following is an example of an acceptable Call-for-papers:
[CFATI 2020] 1st International Workshop on Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations in Emerging Networks to be held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and Pervasive Networks (EUSPN 2020) Madeira, Portugal, November 2-5, 2020.
The main motivation for this Workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on cyber forensics and threat investigations for emerging networks to disseminate current research issues and advances. Original technical papers describing new, state-of-the-art research will be considered. The Workshop welcomes submissions that evaluate existing research results by reproducing experiments. The aim of this workshop is to provide insight for the discussion of the major research challenges and achievements on various topics of interest. Papers on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems in various topics related to cyber forensics and threat investigations are invited, with special emphasis on novel techniques and tools to collect data from networked devices and services in emerging networks (such as the ones can be found in cyber-physical systems and Internet of things). Topics include (but are not limited to):
Advanced threat investigations, forensic and anti-forensic techniques
Cooperative and distributed forensics and threat investigations
Data exfiltration techniques from networked devices and services (e.g. cyber-physical systems, and Internet-of-Things)
Attack detection, traceback, and attribution in SDN, 5G, and 6G
Methods for reconstruction of internet activities in SDN, 5G, and 6G
Forensics and threat investigations in IoT
Forensics and threat investigations in peer-to-peer, social, and cloud networks
Vulnerability & threat detection and mitigation techniques for networked services
Novel large-scale investigations techniques to analyze intelligence data sets and logs
Tools and services for cyber forensics and threat investigations
VoIP forensics, VoIPoW forensics

The ACFTI mailing-list RULES:
This is a mailing list owned and operated by the Association of Cyber Forensics and Threat Investigators ( https://www.acfti.org ) and is managed for the Association by the ACFTI Executive Committee. The Association reserves the right to remove subscribers and/or refuse subscriptions at any time without warning or explanation. The Association would very much prefer not to exercise this right and will not need to do so if subscribers comply with the list rules. In subscribing to the mailing list, you are agreeing to adhere to these rules:
Diverse opinions are welcome. The readership of the mailing list includes people from a wide variety of professional, disciplinary, methodological, and national traditions. List participants are expected to respect these differences. We ask that you maintain a tone of civility and use good judgment in your posts: disagreements are to be expected, but blatant rudeness, personal attacks, lack of respect, and monopolization of the mailing list to further one's own agenda are not expected, nor will they be tolerated.
Anonymous subscriptions and posts are not allowed. In order to help maintain the list as a valuable resource for everyone, you must identify yourself by your real full name when you subscribe and when you post to the mailing list, and you should be prepared to verify your identity upon the executive committee's request, including by providing a CV or résumé. This will normally occur upon subscription.
You must reply to private email privately, and you may not forward a personal email to the mailing list without the author's permission. When responding to a post with a post to the mailing list, please ensure you correctly quote only the previous post or thread.
ACFTI recognizes that certain posts of a commercial nature - including but not limited to job advertisements, announcements of new publications, and promotions and discounts for research tools and services - may be of genuine interest to subscribers. Such posts are acceptable on the list if they are sent from time to time, at a low frequency. Repeated posts promoting the same or substantially similar products, services, or other offers will not be tolerated if they are sent more than once per month, and may lead to the removal of the post or the suspension of the subscriber.
Keep in mind that anything you send to the list automatically goes to all subscribers – please keep posts on-topic for the list. Also, remember when posting to the list that it is a public forum and that your words will be available to everyone who subscribed to the list and placed in a public archive. Messages sent via email can easily be reproduced and circulated beyond their originally intended audience, and neither the list manager, the Association's officers, nor the list server’s host are responsible for consequences arising from list messages being re-distributed.
