SANS Forensic/IR Summit Panel Questions Posted

May 21, 2009

The WhatWorks in Forensics and Incident Response Summit 2009

The panels for the Forensic and Incident Response Summit have been posted. Each panelist will help answer these critical questions and present their answers to the audience. Then the attendees will be able to ask their own questions to the panel via a question and answer session. The panels are one of the many great reasons to attend the 2009 Forensic/IR Summit.

This event should not be missed.

  • Chris Pogue - Senior Security Consultant, Trustwave; Author of Unix and Linux Forensic Analysis.

Some Panel Questions for Incident Response Techniques to be asked at the Summit

  1. What techniques do you use in incident response that are the most reliable at helping solve cases?
  2. If you were going to write the job requirements of an entry level incident responder to handle a gig by themselves, what would the job description look like?
  3. Have you seen a decent incident response policy? If so, tell us why it was good. If not, where did it fail?
  4. Rank a list of tools in order of importance that are in your incident response jump kit.
