Adam, as the CEO of Magnet Forensics, can you give us a brief overview of your products and solutions?

Our mission is to help forensic investigators and security analysts “bring the truth to light” by uncovering and making sense of the digital trail left behind on computers, smartphones and tablets. Our flagship product, Internet Evidence Finder (IEF), can search an image, file, folder or memory dump from a PC or mobile device and recover hundreds of artifacts related to social media, webmail, browser history, P2P, cloud, chat, web activity, pictures and videos. Where we really set ourselves apart is our expertise in recovering deleted data from these artifacts which is often a goldmine of evidence.

What do you think are the main challenges faced by digital forensics examiners today, and how is Magnet Forensics addressing them?

1. One of the biggest challenges faced by forensic examiners is quickly finding the key evidence within massive amounts of data spread across multiple devices and applications. We live in a connected world that is increasingly getting more connected which has created a data tsunami that has changed the face of digital investigations. Our digital universe will double every two years from now until 2020 according to IDC. At Magnet, we believe that a forensic examiner’s time is very valuable and is best served in analyzing the data and not doing the work a computer can do. Of course, it’s always good practice to validate your key findings either manually or with another tool. IEF plays a critical role in dealing with the mountains of data as it’s an automated search that can recover over 430 types of artifacts from mobile devices and computers and only takes a couple of minutes to set up. Our customers tell us that IEF saves them precious time and allows them to find evidence quickly and shine the light on areas they want to investigate further…
