Scope and Topics

The International Conference on Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime (ICDF2C 2025) will be held between November 17 and 19, 2025 in Miami, Florida, USA. This three-day event is expected to attract over 100 participants including academics, practitioners, and vendors providing opportunities for business and intellectual engagement among attendees. The focus is on the next generation cyber analytics, security and forensics including the application and deployment of contemporary technologies (e.g., Generative AI, and large language model) in various security and forensic settings. The conference will feature technical / research paper presentations and keynote speakers, as well as a range of other exciting activities.
