Background
Nuix Web Review & Analytics (WRA) was created to enable analysts and non-technical investigators to collaborate on investigations.
The tool allows a senior investigator or case supervisor to allocate and assign data to individuals within a case. They can then log into the web interface to look through data, which will help them to assist technical investigators.
Once they have been set up, analysts can then start investingating and analysing elements of the case, even if they do not have any techncial knowledge. Quite often, the case officer will be the person who knows the case best, but they are also often the ones who have not been trained to run a given forensic product – with Nuix WRA, the idea is to enable them to use the Nuix suite of products alongside WRA by providing a non-tehcnical inferface with which they can interact.
One of the most important parts of the forensic process is reporting and collaborating on findings. Magnet Forensics has built Portable Case, a feature of Magnet AXIOM and Magnet IEF to help foster that collaboration and make it more integrated, and th… Continue reading Deep Dive On Portable Case Part One

Congratulations on being named CEO of AccessData. You previously served as President and CEO of Guidance. Why AccessData? Why now?
I’ve been in the industry since 2003, I’ve known – and competed against – AccessData for many years, and I long viewed FTK as one of the key products in forensics. After becoming Chairman in 2015, I had an opportunity to see the company up close, and when I was asked to take over as CEO I was very comfortable in the strength of the product set, the dedication of the employees worldwide, and the opportunity to grow the business. In particular, the AD Lab product struck me as the future of forensics, enabling scalability and collaboration that is not possible with the traditional, stand-alone forensics approach. That is a big focus of AccessData in 2017.

Google’s neural networks have achieved the dream of CSI viewers everywhere: the company has revealed a new AI system capable of “enhancing” an eight-pixel square image, increasing the resolution 16-fold and effectively restoring lost data.
The neural network could be used to increase the resolution of blurred or pixelated faces, in a way previously thought impossible; a similar system was demonstrated for enhancing images of bedrooms, again creating a 32×32 pixel image from an 8×8 one.
