Dell announces new Mobile Digital Forensics Solution
March 2011 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Dell announced that law enforcement and intelligence forensics teams can now access and collect digital evidence through the company’s innovative new Mobile Digital Forensics solution. Building on Dell’s original Digital Forensics solution for parallel processing of digital evidence, the new solution adds a mobile capability that can automatically and securely examine data in triage mode at the scene of the crime, allowing for the efficient analysis of time-sensitive, actionable information.
To avoid delays in evidence collection, the new solution uses the latest technology to provide quick and secure identification of evidence on PCs, laptops and mobile phones (including MAC OS and Linux), both volatile memory and hard drives, USB sticks and other external memory devices, and satellite navigation systems. Investigative organizations typically remove devices such as computers, phones, USB devices and other digital devices from a crime scene in order to properly analyze the information stored on them. The Mobile Digital Forensics solution now allows on-site investigation of any digital storage device using one piece of technology.
Using the Dell Latitude E6400 XFR rugged laptop designed for use in the most rugged environments and developed using SPEKTOR Forensic Intelligence software from Evidence Talks, the solution delivers detailed results within a few minutes of capture, reducing processing time and eliminating legal backlogs.
The solution is available immediately in Europe, Canada and the United States.
