AccessData Delivers New Versions of FTK and AD Lab Digital Forensics Software Solutions

Enhanced mobile data analysis capabilities to speed up evidence
review for law enforcement agencies and corporate investigative teams

LINDON, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AccessData
Group, a leading provider of integrated digital forensics and
e-discovery software, has launched FTK 7.0 and AD Lab 7.0, new versions
of the company’s digital forensics software solutions that enable
investigators to analyze mobile application data faster than ever before
possible.

“Law enforcement professionals and corporate investigative teams are
challenged to keep up with an ongoing increase in digital forensics
investigations, fueled by a surge in mobile data that must be collected
and analyzed,” said Ken Naumann, chief executive officer of AccessData.
“FTK and AD Lab are the premier tools for full-scale digital forensics
investigations and the new features we have added with the 7.0 versions
of the software allow our customers to streamline and tackle mobile data
analysis faster than ever.”

In scientific testing, FTK 7.0 and AD Lab 7.0 were able to process more
than 7 TB of data in just 24 hours.

FTK
(Forensic Toolkit®) is a court-cited digital investigations software
tool built to help customers find relevant evidence faster, dramatically
increase analysis speed and reduce backlogs. AD
Lab is a large-scale investigations and processing engine that
enables computer forensics labs of all sizes to provide their teams with
collaborative analysis, centralized case management and web-based
review, thereby dramatically streamlining the investigative process.

The new 7.0 versions of these solutions feature the addition of nine new
mobile parsers, including some of the most popular applications used on
mobile platforms. This allows investigators to parse key data from
mobile applications and analyze the data from within a single forensics
tool.

Additional new features of FTK 7.0 and AD Lab 7.0 include:

• Redesigned chat display — investigators can now view chat
  conversations in the familiar “chat bubble” formats, which makes it
  easier to present findings to attorneys and prosecutors;
• Python scripting — users can run Python (a powerful tool that reduces
  manual aspects of investigations through custom integrations, parsers
  and reports) directly from within the interface to keep all of the
  data in one location without risking spoliation;
• AWS support — agencies and corporations can now access FTK and AD Lab
  in the cloud via Amazon Web Services, achieving greater cost
  efficiencies and more flexibility to scale their environments; and
• Dynamic parsing support — investigators can create custom parsers that
  can be updated at any time, adding additional mobile device support.

Mobile devices are playing an increasingly large part of digital
forensics investigations, with studies
indicating that “extracted evidence from mobile phones has played a
significant role” in a rising number of forensic investigations, so
professionals need to rely on forensic software tools to help them
analyze and build strong cases that combine elements of computer, cloud
and mobile data sets.

“To effectively tackle today’s forensic investigations that demand fast
mobile data analysis and achieve the desired results, investigators need
reliable tools that deliver flexibility, scalability, customization and
a powerful processing engine,” said Naumann. “The functionality added
with the 7.0 releases of FTK and AD Lab ensures that these products will
continue to be those indispensable tools for conducting and managing
comprehensive digital forensics investigations.”

7.0 and an enhanced version of Quin-C, its pioneering investigative

analysis capabilities throughout the legal review workflow.
