On July 22 & 23, thousands from around the globe tuned in for the SANS DFIR Summit. Industry’s top practitioners and leading experts from near and far shared their latest digital forensics and incident response research, solutions, tools, and case studies. It was a great opportunity for cybersecurity professionals and those new to the field.
We invited Ashton Rodenhiser and Emma Richard of Mind's Eye Creative to create graphic recordings of our Summit presentations. If you missed a talk or are looking to view the SANS DFIR Summit through a visual lens, take a look at the recordings below.
In addition to graphic recordings, PDFs of Summit presentations are available on the SANS Summit Archives page (SANS account required) and videos will be posted to YouTube over the next several months.
