Whether you’re an investigator for a government agency or you’re an eDiscovery examiner for a private firm, you know the importance of finding your actionable intelligence as quickly as possible. For the law enforcement officer, you want to find your evidence quickly for an arrest and conviction so you can move on to the next case. Or maybe you work for an eDiscovery firm and you have a critical deadline you need to meet. Your list of incoming cases never stops and triaging your devices can help cut down the time spent on each case. Not only is triaging important to find your evidence quickly, but it can also be useful to limit the scope of your search. With courts becoming more restrictive (especially here in CA), it may become necessary to limit the data extracted from a device. Whatever tools you have in your toolbox, I’ll give you some things to think about when evaluating what software to purchase or renew. I will also highlight features of XRY and XAMN to triage devices and get you the actionable intelligence you’re seeking.
