Adapting to the Digital Frontier: How Belkasoft Responds to Modern Challenges in Digital Forensics
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the challenges facing digital forensics professionals are more complex than ever before. From encrypted communication to cloud storage, cybercrime tactics are constantly evolving, presenting new obstacles for investigators. In this presentation, we explore how Belkasoft, a leader in digital forensic solutions, addresses these modern challenges head-on.

iOS Forensics—The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
OS devices are becoming more and more complicated to acquire due to enhanced security and continuous advances in operating systems. In this session, we will discuss the lifecycle of iOS versions and devices, to include: major changes in iOS updates, what implications they bring to examiners, how forensic tools continue to evolve to attempt to obtain as much data as possible from these devices, and additional roadblocks and workarounds for the everyday digital forensic examiners or investigators.
Androids Unplugged: Analyzing the Inner Workings of Your Robot Companion
With the sheer variety of Android devices on the market, digital forensic investigators need to have a nuanced understanding of each vendor's specific models and their unique characteristics. Join our expert for an in-depth exploration of the many factors that go into acquiring data from a diverse array of Android phones, including those powered by Qualcomm, MediaTek, Spreadtrum, and many more. You'll come away from this session equipped with the knowledge and techniques you need to confidently tackle any Android forensic investigation using Belkasoft X.
The Need for Interlocution in Preparing Digital Evidence for Legal Process
The role of investigators in collecting and selecting evidence can be affected by inadequate forensic training, tunnel vision, confirmation bias, governance, and limited time, all of which have been shown to create injustice.
The opportunity for evidence contamination, vexatious or otherwise is ever present and a blight on the digital forensic community.
Beyond data analysis, the question of reporting is often seen as lacking. Reports are bland, with occasional attempts to explain technicalities that still confuse non-tech lawyers, let alone jurors and judges.
The presentation outlines some of these cases and the dilemmas faced by stakeholders, offering solutions to minimize and better manage these problems to ensure just outcomes.

Hunting for Cyber Attackers and Their Malicious Payloads
“How was the network initially compromised?” This is the question that cyber incident responders hear every time they're called to do their job. Nowadays, most cyberattacks—including advanced targeted attacks—start from a simple phishing email with a weaponized attachment or web link. In this presentation, we will examine the most common initial infection vectors and show how Belkasoft X can help incident responders and forensic analysts find the necessary evidence. Additionally, we will discuss the common forensic artifacts that point to code execution on Windows systems. Join us as we explore the trail that cyber attackers leave behind and the methods to track them down.
DFIR Investigative Mindset
Technical skills are necessary for DFIR, but a piece needs to be added: a DFIR Investigative Mindset! If you are analyzing data for the sake of analyzing data without an investigative mindset, you are not doing the best that can be done. With a DFIR Investigative Mindset, you will see what others miss, do what others wish they could do, and make significant cases that are objective, fair, and accurate. Brett Shavers will explain why and how to develop and improve your DFIR Investigative Mindset.
