This strategic relationship enables MSAB to offer a full suite of tools for data extraction and analysis, completing its offering and increasing the capability for MSAB’s extensive list of global customers.”

Both tools are easy to use and will therefore make an instant difference for customers investing in the combined solution. Users can directly take advantage of the power of MSAB and Detego to solve crimes faster, resulting in improved efficiency and detection for their organisations from a world-leading solution.
