This survey is for people who work in, study for, manage, or use the results of digital forensics or incident response. It takes about 8 minutes, and almost every question is a single click or tick.
Your answers feed the Forensic Focus State of DFIR Report 2027, an independent picture of the field as we head into the new year: caseloads and accreditation, how AI is used in the work and how often it turns up in evidence, the tools teams use and buy, hiring and careers, and the year ahead. The report is free, and everyone who completes the survey can ask for early access at the end.
The survey is anonymous. We do not ask for your name, employer or email address, and results are published only in aggregate. At the end, on a separate page, you can enter our free prize draw for one of five US$100 prepaid e-gift cards, ask for early access to the report, or offer a short follow-up interview.
