EC-Council's digital forensics credential — the advanced, capstone cert in their Forensics track, after CND and CEH.
CHFI certifies the full digital forensics discipline: forensic science fundamentals, the legal/regulatory framework investigators operate under, digital evidence handling, investigation procedures and methodology, hands-on digital forensics across operating systems and networks, and the specific tools real investigators use (EnCase, FTK, Autopsy, Cellebrite, and more). It's the credential for security professionals moving into incident investigation, e-discovery, or law-enforcement-adjacent forensic work — where chain of custody and evidentiary rigor matter as much as technical skill.
