As digital forensics becomes more critical to cybersecurity, organizations face mounting challenges - from remote data collection and mobile device access to siloed teams and evolving SaaS environments. This session explores how aligning digital forensics with broader security strategies can reduce risk, streamline investigations and ensure legal defensibility. With the rapid rise of cloud adoption, hybrid work and AI-driven threats, building a unified, scalable and automated forensics approach is essential.

This session, led by Alison Lester, professional services consultant at Magnet Forensics, will cover:

• Key considerations for remote collection, endpoint reachability and mobile device handling in complex environments;
• How to operationalize forensic readiness through predefined playbooks, integration with existing tools and automation;
• Why treating digital forensics as a strategic capability - not a siloed function - strengthens both response and prevention.
