One aspect of being a professional is that you associate with other professionals. Participating in and belonging to organizations that are actively involved in practicing and furthering the growth of your discipline is a must.

Many professional organizations related to digital forensics and information security require either experience in the field, or employment that is directly related.

The EdCC digital forensics and information security club was established to give students an opportunity to network with others, exchange ideas, and to take advantage of continuing education opportunities. Club members are afforded the opportunity to hone their public speaking skills and give presentations at the Washington State High Technology Crime Investigation Association meetings - an excellent way to network with professionals actively involved in the fields of digital forensics and information security for a living.

Members can also check out full versions of forensic software and hardware write blockers at no cost whatsoever. If you are a student at EdCC, you meet the requirements to join. For more information on joining the club and to inquire about the meeting schedule, contact Matt Lederman at EdCC.Club@gmail.com
