Cindy Murphy

In the field of digital forensics, we have our tried and true artifacts and methods to find them. However, occasionally we uncover information or methods that challenge what we’ve always known, especially when we expect to see nothing and instead uncover a wealth of information. Digital forensics expert Cindy Murphy, M.Sc. will use this session to unpack the myths of digital forensics she uncovered since her career pivot from law enforcement to private digital forensics work. 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.
