This week Bryce and I are in Melbourne for the 27th Symposium of the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society.
Forensic science has always relied on shared knowledge — but in the digital era, collaboration is no longer optional.
As threats grow more complex and cross-jurisdictional, no single lab, agency, or organisation can hold all the answers.
CyberForensics is delighted to be sharing 6 presentations and a workshop, bringing our brand of simplifying secure data and sharing effective cyber forensics techniques.
With the Symposium theme, Foundation to Innovation: Forensic Science in Transition, we're excited to be part of forming collaborative networks, exchanging methodologies, and to be part of co-developing standards that strengthen the entire field.
When private industry, academia, and government bodies align on best practices, we all accelerate both innovation and trust.
It's vital to remember, collaboration isn’t just technical — it’s cultural. Collaboration requires openness, humility, and a willingness to share hard lessons as readily as successes.
Conferences such as ANZFSS, working groups, and partnerships create the environment where innovation thrives and silos dissolve.
So a huge shout out to the organising committee, and anyone who is creating collaborative environments, it's hard and often unappreciated work!
A stronger forensic ecosystem doesn’t just benefit investigators — it benefits justice itself.
Because when expertise is shared, accuracy improves, efficiency increases, and truth becomes more accessible.
