Digital Forensics in the Era of Big Data – Leveraging HPC for Incident Analysis

Digital Forensics in the Era of Big Data – Leveraging HPC for Incident Analysis

The National Competence Centres for HPC in Austria, Czech Republic, and Slovakia invite you to a webinar exploring how high-performance computing (HPC) supports digital forensics in large-scale, data-rich environments. The webinar is hosted by the National Competence Centre for HPC in Slovakia.

Handling digital forensics in large-scale environments demands immense computational resources. This session will demonstrate how HPC accelerates the forensic analysis of cyber incidents, supports large dataset examination, and enables faster threat identification. Use cases from industry and public sector investigations will be discussed. They will showcase specific real-world applications of HPC in the context of forensic analysis and cybersecurity.
