Edmonds College instructor Steve Hailey was elected as the 2021 president of the Digital Forensics Certification Board (DFCB), a professional organization that advances digital forensic science and provides a certification process for members of the profession.
“Being elected is a great honor,” said Hailey. “I now have the opportunity to collaborate with many of the most respected and highly regarded digital forensics scientists the world over.”
Hailey has taught at EC since 1999. He began by developing and instructing one of the state’s first college-level digital forensics courses, and he later created the college’s Cyber Defense and Digital Forensics program. In 2011, he established the state’s first physical data recovery class at EC, which includes a surgically sterile clean room for dismantling and repairing hard drives.
