Frost Radar™: Digital Forensics for Law Enforcement, 2024

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation that Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

As digitalization enables the rapid embrace of digital devices, there has also been a parallel increase in illicit and criminal activities committed through these new devices and systems. Law enforcement agencies must adapt their operations to include the ability to access and analyze these devices while integrating new tools to keep pace with criminals.

Law enforcement teams are implementing new tools and software solutions for their investigative operations, and they must do so while managing and maintaining the exponential volume of collected data requiring analysis. In addition, they must also find a solution to bring siloed databases or platforms onto one core system without missing specific data sets, trends, or context, which is a top concern. Digital forensics solutions address these critical investigative needs by offering an integrated platform to collect, access, and assess multiple data sources through comprehensive forensic capabilities. This augments the investigation teams’ abilities to collect and analyze the breadth of digital and physical evidence via one tool. It enriches their case insights and conclusions with comprehensive contextual analysis, trend recognition, and transparent forensic reporting.

Mobile devices and software platforms are becoming a new ecosystem for criminals to exploit in digital and physical environments. For law enforcement agencies, physical and digital evidence data are critical to resolving criminal cases. Introducing digital forensics solutions allows investigators to process, collect, prioritize, analyze, and preserve the evidence gathered during an investigation. With these solutions, law enforcement organizations can break down data siloes, thoroughly investigate evidence, and accurately assess the outcome of these investigations, all proven by robust contextual analysis and transparent forensic reporting.
