Chapter lunch with Jason Cuneo and Digital Forensics
2026-04-21 11:30 - 12:30 | Auburn University Research and Innovation Campus, 345 Voyager Way, Huntsville, AL, 345 Voyager Way, Huntsville, United States
Join NAC-ISSA for our April chapter lunch with Jason Cuneo presenting on Digital Forensics.

In this lunch-and-learn session, Jason will draw on years of hands-on experience leading digital forensics projects, as well as teaching courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, to provide a practical introduction to modern digital forensics. The session will explore the techniques and tools used to conduct deep-level analysis of information systems across both Windows and Linux environments.

Attendees will gain a broad survey of investigative approaches, including operating system analysis, file system examination, process and memory analysis, protocol inspection, and the identification and interpretation of operating system–specific digital artifacts. Throughout the session, Jason will demonstrate several classes of digital forensics tools, connecting foundational theory with real-world use cases. The goal is to equip participants with actionable insights and methodologies that can be directly applied within everyday work environments.

Catering is by Ted’s with a potato bar, pulled pork and pulled chicken. This month’s door prize is a SwissGear laptop bag.

Jason’s Presentation is available for download.

TOPIC: Business Logic Abuse: Technology Agnostic Mapping of Attack Types

OWASP’s technology specific top 10 lists have provided a ton of value, but it’s time for a different approach to business logic abuse. The rise of APIs and complex business logic attacks requires a new taxonomy that isn’t tied to a specific technology.

Our Speaker is Johanns Quiroz.

Currently serving as a Sr. Sales Engineer at Wallarm, Johanns supports customers across the Southeast, LATAM, and Caribbean, where he focuses on application and API security, pre-sales strategy, and partner enablement. Prior to Wallarm, he held senior technical sales and engineering roles at Horizon3.ai, where he specialized in offensive security and helping organizations proactively identify and mitigate risk. Johanns also brings deep expertise in enterprise infrastructure, having spent over 20 years as a solutions architect designing complex environments across storage, virtualization, and cloud technologies.
