Magnet Summit 2022 Mentorship Day

Hi, this is Jessica Hyde and I wanted to share some details about an exciting event we have planned for the Magnet Summit on April 25: Mentorship Day!

I am really looking forward to this event, which will feature special presentations, a fascinating panel discussion, and limited 1:1 mentorship meetings.

Hear From Three DFIR Mentors in a Live Panel

For this special day, we have lined up an incredible panel who will talk about the importance of mentorship in DFIR.

I am honored to be hosting and moderating a panel consisting of three incredible mentors, Mitch Kajzer, Director, St. Joseph County Cyber Crimes Unit, Julie Lewis, President, CEO and Founder of Digital Mountain, and Robert Duhart, VP, Deputy CISO and CISO eCommerce at Walmart. Check out their Cache Up episodes to learn more their backgrounds and experience in DFIR.

It is a complete and total honor to get to participate in this interactive live session with three of my personal mentors who give so much to grow others. This is your opportunity to ask questions and learn from leaders in our industry—from LE to consultancy to leaders of the security teams of Fortune 10 companies (and all the transitions and movement in between.)

Special Mentorship Day Presentation

Additionally, the one and only Brett Shavers, will be delivering an intriguing presentation, A Fresh Perspective on a Digital Forensics Career.

Brett is an incredible examiner who has worked in both Law Enforcement and the private sector, written digital forensics books, and gives back to the DFIR community, via DFIR.Training. I am lucky to collaborate with him on DFIR Review and his knowledge from his decades of experience in the field is sure to be invaluable for anyone looking to further their career in digital forensics or incident response.
