In the field of cybersecurity and digital forensics we follow an unwritten rulebook—a set of beliefs and ground truths we commonly hold to be true. Sometimes though, we find that what we thought was true simply isn’t. How do we reach a point of realizing our beloved “rules” are wrong? What do we do when we realize that what we held as a truth just isn’t true? Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Cybersecurity and digital forensics expert Cindy Murphy, M.Sc. will use this session to unpack some of the myths of digital forensics she has observed during her career. For example, when an SD card shows all zeros, is it actually empty? Or, are we really getting a full forensic image from this hard drive? From there, she will discuss how to navigate those myths and most importantly, how to keep moving forward in an ever-changing industry. Session attendees will walk away feeling empowered to ask questions and challenge the status quo in the digital forensics profession.
