The SANS 2021 Digital Forensics Survey, written by SANS Jason Jordaan, seeks to understand how organizations view the importance of having a strong and reliable digital forensics foundation.
SANS is seeking sponsors that have proven security tools for overcoming the challenges digital forensic practitioners face in their everyday job. Sponsors have the opportunity to align their product(s) and solutions with this survey, which is highly sought out by our SANS community and frequently listed in publications such as Dark Reading, InfoRiskToday, and SC Media.

About the Survey
All professions and all skills are built on foundational knowledge, and digital forensics is no different. Digital forensics is a discipline that intersects various domains, including forensic science, investigations, law, intelligence and cybersecurity. Each of these domains has various outcomes in mind when it comes to digital forensics, and with the often urgent need to upskill practitioners in all of these domains, a lot of focus has been on teaching people how to do digital forensics. The focus has been often on just “getting the job done” and not always building the foundational knowledge.
While certainly understandable, this is like building a house on sand: You can have the most impressive house, but because the foundation is unstable, one adverse event can bring the whole house tumbling down. To ensure that our digital forensics work is strong and reliable, like a house built on a solid foundation, we need to make certain that our digital forensics foundations are solid.
