About this episode
Keith Lockhart discusses the evolution of remote digital evidence collection in DFIR and its practical applications.
Keith Lockhart from Oxygen Forensics joins Si and Desi on the Forensic Focus Podcast to examine how remote digital evidence collection is changing investigative workflows across DFIR, eDiscovery, and corporate investigations. Drawing on recent XiB mobile training and real-world deployments, Keith explains where remote and agent-based acquisition delivers practical benefits—and where traditional hands-on methods remain essential. The discussion covers targeted versus full acquisitions, consent and governance in corporate environments, and the operational realities of collecting data across networks, jurisdictions, and time zones. It also explores over-the-air mobile collection, workstation memory capture, drone forensics, and why parser development remains a constant challenge as apps and platforms evolve. #DigitalForensics #DFIR #MobileForensics #IncidentResponse #eDiscovery #RemoteCollection #DigitalEvidence #cybercrime 👉 Visit Forensic Focus at https://www.forensicfocus.com ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Welcoming Keith from Oxygen 01:59 Discussing the XiB Course Experience 05:19 Challenges and Successes in Mobile Phone Extraction 10:22 Remote Collection and Its Evolution 14:38 ROI and…
