Attendee information

Who Should Attend:

Every year, forensic and incident response professionals from around the world attend the SANS DFIR Summit to learn how to overcome their latest obstacles, learn about the latest open-source forensic tools, share methods and strategies proven effective in their investigations, and learn from the top DFIR practitioners in the industry.

The knowledge shared over just two days in Austin is enough to last the entire year. Whether this is your first or thirteenth DFIR Summit, you’ll be joining a community that is driven by the search for truth in digital forensics and eradicating adversaries from their target environment through incident response engagements.

Ask any of the returning attendees - a key benefit is that you’ll have the opportunity to network with other like-minded DFIR professionals at our community-building events, which are the perfect way to connect in a more casual setting and cultivate relationships--all while having fun! If you work in digital forensics or incident response, the SANS DFIR Summit is the must-attend event of the year.

Join us in Austin as we bring both the knowledge and the fun - you won’t regret it!
