The advanced DFIR course Advanced Endpoint Investigations is separately priced at $575 on demand and $725-$1,850 live.Figure read 2026-09-12 from www.antisyphontraining.com

Strengths

  • A genuine sliding scale starting at zero is close to unique in this field, and it is not a marketing device — the $0 tier is real.
  • Instructors include recognised DFIR practitioners, some of whom author material for other providers in this directory.
  • Payment tiers are transparent about exactly what each one includes.
  • Far cheaper than SANS at every tier, for live instruction from working practitioners.

Limitations

  • The pay-what-you-can catalogue skews toward SOC and blue-team fundamentals. The deeper DFIR course is NOT pay-what-you-can — it is $575 to $1,850.
  • No accredited credential results from any of it.
  • Live courses are tied to Antisyphon's calendar and sometimes to a conference.
  • The lowest payment tier excludes the cyber range and the certificate, so $0 buys the lecture and not the practice environment.
