The disk is gone. The RAM is gone. What's left is a trace, and a story someone tried to erase.
One examiner sits between the breach and the truth — reconstructing what happened, artifact by artifact.
Every log is a witness. Every timestamp, a lead.

The SANS DFIR Summit brings together some of the field's most experienced practitioners, researchers, and investigators to share real-world cases, emerging research, open-source tools, and the techniques shaping digital forensics and incident response.
From ransomware and threat hunting to AI-related evidence and evolving investigative challenges, explore the problems DFIR teams are working through now, learn what's working in the field, and get hands-on with practical approaches you can bring back to your own investigations.
Come for the technical content. Stay for the community. Connect with fellow practitioners, compare approaches, and leave with new ideas to put to work and people you can call when the next hard problem comes up.
“Every talk has a little nugget that you can add to your forensic toolbox no matter what your forensic wheelhouse may be. This is a must-attend event.” - A. Sparling
