Hybrid agents for DFIR: Cloud-scale endpoint management, on-prem evidence control
What if you could manage endpoints in the cloud without ever sending sensitive evidence there?
DFIR teams are usually stuck choosing between cloud speed and on-prem control. Magnet Nexus hybrid agents remove that trade-off — you manage endpoints and agents in Nexus (SaaS), while Axiom Cyber keeps full control over evidence collection and storage when required.
Join us to see how a single, lightweight agent supports both approaches: cloud-powered workflows for scale and reach, or collections initiated from Axiom Cyber that route data directly to your Cyber host over a configurable TCP port. Either way, you avoid unnecessary transmission of sensitive data over standard HTTPS (TCP/443) routes to the cloud.
You’ll learn:
-How one hybrid agent supports both cloud-managed and on-prem-controlled workflows
-How the data path works when collections route directly to your Axiom Cyber host instead of the cloud
-How to deploy at scale and simplify agent management across environments
-How to meet data sovereignty, compliance, and security requirements without compromise
S2:E4 // The art and science of AI prompting in digital investigations
The effectiveness of AI in digital forensics hinges on one critical factor: how you prompt it.
Join Brandon Epstein for a practical look at how to take control of AI so it works effectively for you. This session will break down what makes a good AI prompt, including effective structures and how they can produce meaningful and reliable outputs. Additionally, he’ll cover common prompting pitfalls that you’ll want to avoid, which can often introduce bias, errors, or hallucinations.
Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or looking to refine your current workflows, this webinar will give you the tools to get the most out of AI as a dependable investigative ally.

Closing the investigative gap in incident response
Most incident response teams are built to detect and contain threats, but not always equipped to fully understand the extent of the threat. This eBook explores the growing investigative gap between alert and answer, where key questions remain: how the attacker got in, what they did, and whether it can be proven. Learn why traditional … Continued

The scariest sentence you’ll ever hear in a digital forensics lab
It isn’t “the drive is unreadable.”
It isn’t “they never got the discovery.”
It isn’t even “is that phone ringing inside the faraday box?”
