IT Acceleration's Digital Forensics team granted CCE certification
IT Acceleration, Inc. serves as a strategic partner and single-point-of-contact to businesses and law firms in managing all aspects of the Digital Forensics & Electronic Discovery process. To further its credentials as experts, IT Acceleration is pleased to announce that its team of Digital Forensics analysts has been granted the prestigious Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) certification: Joseph F. Baxter, Senior Forensics Analyst, Jeffery A. Baker, Forensic Analyst; Frederick G. Munizza, Partner and Director of Technology Management Services; and David J. Yarnall, Partner, President, and Director of Digital Forensics. Combined, they have over 100 years of Information Technology experience.
"Digital Forensics and Electronic Discovery is a specialized area of information technology that should only be performed by those of us who have gone through rigorous training and industry testing, such as the CCE," stated Yarnall. "There are many nuances involved in collecting digital data so as to not jeopardize its authenticity and, therefore, allowing it to be made admissible in a court setting. These are processes that the average IT professional or lawyer would not know how to handle. And that's why we at IT Acceleration felt it was in the best interest of our clients to have each of our Digital Forensics Analysts go through the process to obtain the CCE certification."
Certifications
The CCE certification is granted by the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners (ISFCE), which is dedicated to the world-wide advancement of the science of digital forensic examinations. The CCE provides a fair, uncompromised process for certifying the competency of forensic computer examiners. It also sets high forensic and ethical standards for forensic computer examiners. According to the ISFCE, there are currently 785 active CCEs around the world.
In addition, Baxter has been granted the BK Forensics Mobile Phone Seizure Certification (MPSC) recently. This expertise is particularly relevant in forensic investigations, as cell phones have evolved into portable computing devices containing increasing amounts of proprietary data.
