Edmonds Community College has partnered with the Washington State HTCIA, donating meeting space and resources for 2008. This is the third year of sponsorship.

We send a heartfelt THANK YOU to the college president, Jack Oharah, as well as the EdCC board members. Your foresight in understanding the importance of the HTCIA to our community will allow us to be a driving force to further educate those with the responsibility of combating high tech crime, and will also allow us to educate our citizens to help prevent them from becoming victims.

Edmonds Community College was one of the first colleges in the state to offer comprehensive training in digital forensics and information security, and remains a leader in these fields.

As a true leader in the community, the college offers no-cost training and lectures to the public on a variety of topics including identity theft, home computer security, and Internet safety for teens and children.

The information security and digital forensics labs that the HTCIA members will be able to take advantage of at EdCC are equipped with custom built forensic workstations. Members will be able to use a comprehensive suite of tools and industry standard forensic software such as AccessData's Forensic ToolKit, Guidance Software's EnCase, and X-Ways Forensics. Hardware write blockers and toolkits needed to forensically process cell phones and Personal Digital Assistants will be available as well.
