Join Us for the Must-Attend DFIR Event of the Year
Every year, forensic and incident response professionals from around the world attend the SANS DFIR Summit to learn how to overcome their latest obstacles, hear about the latest open-source forensic tools, share methods and strategies proven effective in their investigations, and connect with the top DFIR practitioners in the industry.
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.
Ask any of the returning attendees - a key benefit is that you’ll have the opportunity to network with other like-minded DFIR professionals. If you work in digital forensics or incident response, the SANS DFIR Summit is the must-attend event of the year.
