New in AXIOM & AXIOM Cyber: Portable Case Updates Help You Easily Share Case Evidence
If you’re using Portable Case in AXIOM and AXIOM Cyber, we’ve now introduced a new Case Dashboard view. This view provides an at-a-glance summary of your evidence so others can quickly review the case. This is especially helpful if you’re sharing evidence for review with non-technical stakeholders, who will be able to quickly understand:
- Artifact categories
- Keyword matches
- Tags and Comments
- Evidence overview
- Case processing details
- And more!
New in AXIOM & AXIOM Cyber: Search Performance Improvements to Speed Up Investigations
AXIOM 4.5 will help make your examinations even faster! We’ve made significant improvements to performance when filtering advanced keyword searches, speeding up your search return times—by an average of 37 times faster based on our internal testing!—and saving you valuable time in your investigations.
We’ve also added two other new features to help streamline your searches:
- Auto complete for keyword searches based on the artifacts in your case
- Searching and highlighting keywords within Document and HTML previews
New in AXIOM Cyber: Generate Forensically-Sound AFF4-L Images
Following up our support for AFF4 Physical containers in 4.2, AXIOM Cyber 4.5 gives you the ability to save logical remote collections in the AFF4-L format as a more forensically sound alternative to zip containers.
AFF4-L is a vendor-neutral, open standard designed specifically for forensic imaging, giving you confidence that the integrity of your evidence is maintained.
Both AXIOM and AXIOM Cyber also support the ingestion of AFF4-L images generated by other tools.

New in AXIOM: Skype User Data Download Support
In addition to support for Google Takeout and Facebook user data downloads, AXIOM now supports processing of Skype User Data download packages.
