Steve is the author of Applied Incident Response and the co-author of Mastering Windows Network Forensics and Investigations, both released by Wiley Publishing. Steve has provided cyber security and digital investigation services for over 20 years in more than 60 countries.
As a task force agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a special agent with the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, Steve conducted digital forensic examinations and led complex computer crime investigations into network intrusions, international espionage, domestic and international terrorism, fraud, crimes against children and other cases involving national security and imminent danger to life.
Steve Anson was a great instructor with engaging delivery, including relevant real-world examples from his career.
Even with all the theories that needed to be covered, Steve still managed to move the class through the material, all while making sure that students understood topics that required more detail than others.
I specifically chose this course for Steve, and he did not disappoint. I love the real-life stories of how these techniques and defenses played out. I have pages full of what to take away and implement back in business.
