for Digital Forensics Examiners

Historically, digital forensic examiners have not had reliable solutions to clean devices exposed to substances like fentanyl, bloodborne pathogens and viruses. This training provides guidance on using the VTO Labs Contaminated Device Transport Kit and Contaminated Device Laboratory Process to keep digital forensics examiners safe.
