Why Workflow-Based Training Programs are important to the Forensic Examiner when using automated tools. 

In the dynamic landscape of automated forensic examinations, grasping the complexities of the process is crucial. This session will illuminate the importance of automated tools while highlighting the risks associated with overly relying on programmers' interpretations or their limited understanding of artifact relevance. We will delve into essential questions that examiners should ask when selecting a training provider and outline key expectations to consider when participating in any Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) course. Join us for an insightful discussion that will enhance your understanding and improve your forensic practices in this ever-evolving field.
