September 30 to October 2, 2009

The International Conference on Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime (ICDF2C) is organized by the School of Business at the University at Albany, State University of New York (UAlbany) in collaboration with the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (ICST) and Create-Net. We are also working closely the New York State Police (NYSP) and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) who are co-sponsoring the event.

The objective of the conference is to bring together law enforcement, prosecutors, private industry employees, government officials, and academics in the area of digital forensics and cyber crime. Our conference is the first of its kind - encompassing both traditional computer and information security concerns (i.e. Internet Crimes against Children), as well as money laundering and accounting fraud detection (both of which have become increasingly electronic). This includes tracks on multimedia and handheld device forensics as well as forensics and law (which may apply towards CLE credits). The goals for our conference are simple, but significant: to raise awareness of the diverse interests and needs in the community, to promote greater participation in dialogue and exchange and, by doing so, to strengthen digital forensics capacity and capability locally, nationally, and internationally. We are providing a venue that not only offers chances for networking, but also high-quality training opportunities through expert speakers, state-of-the-art work from researchers around the world, and tutorials on basic and advanced forensic techniques.
