Held in Austin, Texas each summer, the SANS Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Summit is known for offering in-depth but accessible digital forensic research — and for its laid-back, fun atmosphere.
This year’s summit, which ran from Thursday, July 25 through Friday, July 26, delivered a balanced menu of tool-oriented “how-to” style talks, artifact talks, and some specific incident response insights. Most of the people in the room on Day 1 said they were first-time attendees, though we met up with a number of returning faces, too.
