“During the second quarter of 2013, our development team focused on taking a robust, feature-rich forensic software solution and fine-tuning it by significantly boosting evidentiary data search and processing speeds,” said Drew Fahey, Vice President of Product Development. “BlackLight 2013 R2 leverages multi-core workstation capabilities even more efficiently, and allows examiners to manually set the maximum number of core processors BlackLight utilizes according to task-based processing requirements. The result is improved speed, performance, and overall product stability.”
