Description: Every year, DFIR professionals from around the world come together at the SANS DFIR Summit to tackle new challenges, explore the latest open-source forensic tools and fresh research, share real-world case studies, and exchange proven investigative strategies. Attendees connect with top DFIR practitioners across the community — an essential part of keeping their skills sharp and their work impactful.
The knowledge you’ll absorb in just two days will last the entire year. Whether you’re attending your first DFIR Summit or returning for your seventeenth, you’ll join a community that shares a common drive to seek truth through digital forensics and eradicate attackers during incident response engagements.
