Mission
The national cyber-forensics & training alliance (ncfta) is a non-profit corporation focused on identifying, mitigating, and neutralizing cyber crime threats globally. The ncfta was created by industry and academia for the sole purpose of conducting real time information sharing and analysis with subject matter experts (sme) in the public, private, and academic sectors. The ncfta has a proven track record and has long been identified as the model for private/public partnerships. Today, the ncfta model, best practices, and lessons learned are being leveraged and emulated in countries around the world.
