What does a military forensics and incident response expert do? | Guest Daniel Young

Digital forensics is an interesting field, but one that also can be a bit murky. It's handled in different ways in the private sector, military scenarios or government applications.

Learn all about military digital forensics and incident response from today's guest, Daniel Young, managing partner and co-founder of QuoLab Technologies. He discusses what it's like working on huge multi-person operations in the DoD and Air Force, as well as the importance of comprehensive threat information sharing, both internally and externally.
