Every Android Flavour is Different

Android may be an open platform, but from a forensic perspective, it’s anything but uniform. Each manufacturer adds its own layer of customization—altering system partitions, changing logging behavior, introducing proprietary apps, and modifying how data is stored and secured.

This session explores the forensic implications of these variations through practical case studies on devices from Google (Pixel), Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo. Attendees will learn which artifacts remain consistent across Android environments, which differ dramatically, and how to adapt acquisition analysis strategies to each ecosystem.

By the end, you’ll understand why every Android flavour truly is different—and why forensic examiners can’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach.

SANS CTI Survey 2025: Navigating Uncertainty in Today's Threat Landscape

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, the past year has presented unique challenges and opportunities for cyber threat intelligence professionals. For 2025, availability has become a critical focus within the CIA triad, with ransomware and service outages high on the agenda, and network defenders and CTI analysts acutely aware of the impact of large-scale network disruptions. Additionally, AI remains a double-edged sword, with both adversarial and beneficial applications advancing rapidly.

In response to these dynamic conditions, the SANS 2025 CTI Survey has undergone a substantial transformation. With the support of SANS’ data science and analysis team, the survey has been revamped to provide deeper insights and more actionable intelligence.

The presentation will explore:

How CTI can help prepare organisations for unpredictable events with severe consequences
How methodologies and enhanced analysis tools are shaping CTI practices
How automation and engineering are supporting cyber threat intelligence operations
The dual role of AI in cybersecurity, from threats to defensive measures
How CTI teams assess their maturity and plan their CTI programs
