The newest iOS 11 is already supported, even though it is in beta, not only because some phones you need to investigate may already have it, but also because you won't need to wait for your other tools to provide support for it.

AccessData just released a new white paper that discusses the growing litigation risks and regulatory pressures on UK pharmaceutical companies and the need for technology solutions to e-discovery.

The management of electronic data is a complex and time-consuming challenge for corporate legal executives in any industry. These challenges are especially acute for UK companies in the pharmaceutical industry where corporate executive teams are faced with managing electronic data that resides on email servers and other data repositories. Pharmaceutical companies face an even greater e-discovery challenge when it comes to harvesting data from restricted information sources such as clinical trial records, adverse reaction findings and highly confidential sales analysis reports.

The challenges are great but the technology is there. This white paper details key strategies to help pharmaceutical executives better manage their e-discovery responsibilities.

An Ohio judge has ruled that data from a pacemaker can be used in court.

Defendant Ross Compton, who faces aggravated arson charges, claims he was woken by a fire at home, packed a case, broke a window and threw out the bag.

A cardiologist told police his explanation was "highly improbable" based on his heart rate and cardiac rhythms at the time.

Jad, will you introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about who you are, what you do, and how you got here?

Sure. My name is Jad Saliba, I’m the founder and CTO of Magnet Forensics. Who I am – I’m a former law enforcement officer, started my career actually before that in the IT industry, and did a lot of that. Even as a teenager, I was just kind of curious, and trying to understand how things work and how to break them and what’s going on behind the scenes, but I always also had an interest in law enforcement and wanting to help people and do some exciting work. So I spent a bit of time in the IT industry but then left that to become a police officer, and did the general patrol work, in the car, no computer stuff.
