Reclaim time in your digital investigations with Magnet One 

Part 1 – Combining speed with accuracy 

In this four-part series, we talk about the benefits of the Magnet One platform for the digital forensics lab and how it will help you save time and eliminate hassles in your digital investigations. Be sure to check out the upcoming blogs in this series to learn more about how Magnet One helps you save time in your investigations by streamlining your forensics workflows, empowering your teams with real-time collaboration, and helping you to tackle the growing challenge of data storage and management. 

As the demand for digital evidence continues to rise, investigative teams are being asked to work faster, with fewer resources. We designed our Magnet One platform to give you an investigative edge, enabling your entire team—including forensics teams, investigators, and prosecutors—to work together to leverage all your digital evidence so you can close cases faster. 

There’s never enough time 

Like most digital teams, it probably feels like the demands on your attention are endless, and there are never enough hours in the day to complete all the tasks needed to keep your investigations moving. With the ever-increasing volume and complexity of digital investigations, you may find you have less and less time for the core aspects of the job that truly leverage your skills and experience—uncovering and interpreting digital evidence.  

Managing each step in your forensic workflows—from intaking new lab requests, creating and processing cases, analyzing and sharing results, and tracking them through their lifecycle—can be a daunting task, with disconnected tools and numerous manual steps that consume precious time that could otherwise be used on high-value analysis. 

Collaborating with your investigative teams also requires considerable effort. Preparing and sharing digital evidence can add even more time to your investigations—particularly if you’re still relying on physical media for distribution. You may also be inundated with phone calls or emails as you struggle to keep your stakeholders in the loop on their investigations, adding further strain on your time and frustration for all.  

There’s also the growing challenge of storing, securing, and managing the vast amounts of digital forensics data generated in your investigations. Too often this challenge falls to the lab, requiring you to divert even more of your attention and resources away from analysis to administering data.
