S2:E4 // Voices from the field: Trends, challenges, and what’s next in DFIR

By

Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) has evolved rapidly from purely reactive investigations to incorporating proactive approaches that utilize cloud-powered forensics and AI. But while the tools and techniques may have advanced, so too have the complexities: hybrid and remote workforces, supply chain compromises, expanding attack surfaces, and the increasing pressure to collect evidence before it disappears.
 
In this special episode of Cyber Unpacked, hosts Doug Metz, Senior Security Forensics Specialist, and Jeff Rutherford, Forensic Consultant, bring together a panel of DFIR leaders to explore the state of digital investigations today. We’ll unpack some of the top challenges investigative teams face, from AI’s opportunities and risks to common pitfalls they’ve overcome. They’ll also share how different organizations are adapting, why celebrating internal wins matters, and what trends DFIR leaders should be paying attention to next.
 
Join us for what’s sure to be a lively discussion on where DFIR is headed, and how you can equip your team to respond with speed, accuracy, and confidence in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
