Enterprise Digital Forensics and Security with Open Tools: Automate Audits, Computer Forensics Investigations and Incident Response with AWX and Ansible

In modern enterprises, managing digital forensics, incident response, and security audits across hundreds of endpoints and cloud systems is challenging. This session demonstrates how open-source automation tools — AWX and Ansible — can streamline forensic investigations, compliance audits, and incident response. Attendees will learn how agentless automation can collect evidence scientifically and at scale, ensuring consistency, traceability, and efficiency across heterogeneous environments without expensive commercial solutions. Case studies will demonstrate how to orchestrate large-scale operations, turning manual forensic tasks into centrally managed automated workflows for faster, reliable enterprise investigations.
