I joined the Belgian Computer Crime Unit many years ago and attended the IACIS BCFE Class in 2007, which was pivotal for my career. After becoming an IACIS instructor in 2008, I faced a challenging case involving unfamiliar technology and quickly received crucial support through the IACIS network.
Today, I remain active with IACIS as a Training Committee member and serve as International Training Manager for a global company.
Training is essential for interpreting digital evidence. IACIS significantly changed my perspective on data and its importance as evidence in criminal cases.
I began my journey in digital forensics in 2008, and even after conducting numerous investigations, I still felt uncertain about confidently presenting technical findings. That changed in 2017 when I attended the IACIS BCFE course. It was a turning point — I finally gained a deep understanding of Windows forensics and the foundational principles that every digital forensic examiner should acquire. Earning my CFCE was just the beginning; I later achieved my CAWFE and ICMDE certifications and became a Peer Review Coach to help guide the next generation of CFCEs. IACIS has been instrumental in shaping both my confidence and my career in digital forensics.
