Tino Kyprianou, Founder of Axiana Digital Forensics, Acquires International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners (ISFCE) from Nightwing

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Dec. 17, 2024 - PRLog -- The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners (ISFCE), a globally recognized leader in digital forensics certification and training, has been acquired by Tino Kyprianou, the founder of Axiana Digital Forensics and a respected figure in the digital forensics community. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in ISFCE's history, positioning the organization for growth and innovation under independent ownership.

Founded in 2002, ISFCE has been at the forefront of advancing digital forensics through its Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) certification and comprehensive training programs. The organization became part of Raytheon Cyber Solutions in 2016 and was later included in the cybersecurity and intelligence division of RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon Technologies). In April 2024, RTX divested its cybersecurity operations, including ISFCE, to Nightwing, a newly independent entity.

Tino Kyprianou's acquisition of ISFCE from Nightwing ushers in a new chapter for the organization. A long-time member of ISFCE, Kyprianou brings over 20 years of expertise in digital forensics, as well as a proven track record in leadership and innovation.

"Advancing Quality Assurance Through Proficiency Testing"

Under Kyprianou's leadership, ISFCE achieved accreditation from the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) for Proficiency Testing in digital evidence handling, meeting the ISO/IEC 17043:2023 standard. Proficiency testing is essential for quality assurance in forensic laboratories, evaluating the competence of forensic analysts and ensuring the reliability of forensic processes.

Building on the high standards of the Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) certification, ISFCE's proficiency testing program assesses and enhances the skills of digital forensic professionals and organizations in handling, analyzing, and reporting digital evidence.

Designed for law enforcement agencies, forensic labs, and private-sector providers, the program offers independent verification of skills and adherence to international best practices, helping professionals validate their expertise and maintain credibility in the field.

"A Vision for the Future"

As ISFCE's new CEO, Kyprianou envisions a future where ISFCE expands its certification programs, introduces cutting-edge training opportunities, and supports its members with enhanced resources and tools.
