Breaking barriers: Cloud infrastructure for DFIR Teams

Digital forensics teams face an increasingly global threat landscape while constrained by physical infrastructure limitations. When critical evidence resides in Frankfurt and your team operates from Denver, traditional approaches force expensive travel, complex partnerships, or missed opportunities. This presentation introduces cloud-based forensics laboratories as a transformative solution that enables remote capabilities while maintaining evidence integrity and methodology consistency.

We will explore the technical architecture required to replicate complete forensics environments across global regions, ensuring compliance with international data protection regulations while preserving chain of custody in distributed infrastructure.
