At The Investigator’s upcoming events for Digital Media Investigators, Cyan Forensics’ Bruce Ramsay will explore key issues around digital triage workflow.
The in-force technology days take place nationwide in September, October and November, and feature presentations on all areas of Digital Forensics.
Demonstrations of Cyan Forensics’ 20x faster digital forensics triage tools will be available.
Triage and Digital Forensic Strategy
With increasing numbers of digital devices submitted for evidence, good triage techniques offer the potential to sift rapidly and reduce the number of devices subjected to a full examination.
Used properly, triage can reduce risk and costs associated with investigations, as well as addressing shortages of digital forensics capacity. However, poorly conducted triage can miss important evidence and increase risks.
In addition to looking at emerging tools and techniques for triage, Bruce will explore:
- How can triage be used most effectively?
- How do triage techniques fit into the overall Digital Forensic Strategy?
- When are triage techniques most appropriately used, and when are they inappropriate?
- When should triage be used on-site, through a kiosk, and as a means of prioritisation in the lab?
