The Modern Analyst’s Toolkit: Why Non-traditional tools matter

Description

The Modern Analyst’s Toolkit: Why Non-traditional tools matter. Matt Danner: Founder & CEO of Monolith Forensics.  Digital investigations are evolving faster than most traditional forensic tooling can adapt. In this session, we’ll explore why modern investigations benefit from adopting developer-style tools (SQL databases, Python, REST APIs, and AI/LLM systems) as practical extensions of their forensic toolkit.

Matt has over a decade of hands-on experience in DFIR. Matt has worked in both the public and private sectors as a forensic examiner. He regularly presents on modern investigative techniques and best practices, blending traditional forensic methodology with developer-style tools and workflows to help practitioners solve complex cases more efficiently.
