Moderator — Dmitry Yankovoy
Testing, testing. So, dear friends, hello everyone. Many of you know me, my name is still Dmitry Yankovoy, and today I'll be moderating our event. Introduced myself just in time. Two announcements down, high time for the third. So, last year, unfortunately, I didn't quite manage to make it here, but this year I'm before you again. Greetings to everyone who's watching us online, and offline too. I'm incredibly pleased to see a great many faces here, both old and new, especially — actually, I'll probably segment them, because the old faces I'm pleased to see for the reason that I see old friends I've known for many years, and the new faces I'm pleased to see because I realize that digital forensics as a topic is picking up more and more momentum, which means, I suppose, what we're going to talk about today is very important.
One important point — imagine, it said on the website, I don't know whether you noticed or not, that this is the ninth conference. We've been running this conference for 9 years now, since 2016, and next year, just imagine, will be an anniversary one. But in 9 years, only one thing hasn't changed, and it's the most important one. The most important thing in all of this isn't even what you hear from the stage, it's the connection that has formed between us. Because today, Moscow Forensics Day isn't just some conference on digital forensics, it's probably one of the few places where forensic experts from all over the country can meet up, talk and share experience. That said, again, I won't downplay the importance of the talks themselves. Ask questions. We've prepared, as it's fashionable to say now, some real meat, as far as the talks themselves are concerned.
But before I move on to the other housekeeping points, I suppose we should open the conference. So I invite to the stage our invariably wonderful Olga Gutman. Let's give her a round of applause, because without her, none of this would exist, 100 percent. Yes, you can pick up the mics over there. Olga, the floor is yours.
Opening — Olga Gutman
A very, very good morning to everyone. Both to those in the hall right now and to those glued to their monitor screens, possibly watching our conference in the middle of their working day. Like Dima, I'm very glad to see both familiar and new faces in the hall. Our once small, intimate event has grown into a large-scale conference. That makes us very happy. And even though we've turned into such a large venue where you can network, we always try to keep that atmosphere of coziness and intimate conversation. And most importantly, the usefulness of the conference, which has been the aim of this event from the very start. So throughout the day, be sure to talk to each other, don't be afraid to come up, don't be shy about approaching us. Ask the speakers your questions, including online. Or if you have questions for our company, or for the companies represented at the booths today, ask them online as well, they'll definitely be passed on to us, and you won't be left without an answer.
I'd like to thank all the partners taking part in our event today. Just a small aside. We started putting together this MFD's programme a whole year before the event. So in effect, today you're going to see the result of a year's worth of our work. And that's very flattering. We couldn't fit in all the presenters, all the speakers who wanted to present at our event today. But in the end, I think, what we've got is the cream of the crop. The talks aren't some theory that's divorced from reality, but topical talks aimed at practical application. I'm sure that today, together with you, and tomorrow, we'll have two extremely productive and useful days.
Once again, thank you all for finding the time to attend our event today. As always, I wish good luck to the speakers, partners and organizers of today's conference, and I declare Moscow Forensics Day 2025 open.
Moderator: the organizer, partners and the day's program
Olga, thank you so much. Well, and we carry on making today's history. As I said, I see a lot of faces, so let me start by introducing who we actually are. MKO Systems is a leading developer of software for computer forensic examination of mobile devices, personal computers, drones, cloud services and much more. We also run training courses in the field of digital forensics. All the details are in your bags. I'm not going to do any advertising now. But today, as you can see on the slide, we're by no means doing this alone. Alongside us today, you can see the booths of companies such as ACE Lab, LAN PROJECT, ELETEK, Ester Solutions, SearchInform and STC.
Also, our general partners for this conference, Account-Best, sadly have no booth, but I'm sure you can find Igor Evgenyevich in the hall, especially since he'll be giving a talk on UAVs today, and have a chat with him. Anyway, let's move on to some brief housekeeping. Just one request: I know you can't switch your phones off, so I'd just really ask you to switch them to silent mode. And if you happen to wander over to the booth area to chat during the talks, please don't be too loud. Actually, that's the housekeeping covered, and that's all of it.
Let's run through what's in store today. We've got three big, packed blocks ahead of us today, so that's three sections of talks, and then, as always, the hottest part of this conference: the roast. What is the roast? The roast is the session where you, as Olga already said, saved up questions all year, and now you can put those questions to pretty much everyone speaking today, that is, say, if you've built up something bad you'd like to say about Mobile Criminalist, that's welcome here, you can say it straight to the CEO, so it goes straight to the top.
Right, let me check. Yes, the housekeeping's all done, the conference is already open, which means we can move straight on to the talks.
