Digital forensics is as much about the hardworking people who bring their knowledge and experience to every case as it is about the technology. Having the right tools in place matters, but so do the processes, physical setup, and training that support them.
In many forensic labs, especially those operating in air-gapped or high security environments, critical time is lost to fragmented workflows.
Introducing Magnet One Case Stream, a new Magnet One-powered capability with the fastest and easiest way to acquire, share, and review digital evidence.
We’re excited to introduce AP100 – Axiom Digital Evidence Reporting: A Prosecutor’s Toolkit, a new three day training course built specifically for prosecutors to help effectively utilize Axiom reports in your cases.
Law enforcement and investigative teams are inundated with devices, data, and demands. Digital forensics labs are often overwhelmed, leaving critical evidence to languish in long queues and potentially compromising justice. Whether you’re handling several cases a week or hundreds per month, see how Magnet Automate can modernize your lab like never before.
This research explores a selection of anti-forensic mobile apps on Android and iOS using Magnet Axiom: Snapchat’s My Eyes Only, Samsung Secure Folder, SpoofCard, and Wasted (an Android panic-wipe app). Each application was installed on controlled test devices on both Android and iOS, populated with realistic data (photos, videos, calls, and messages), imaged, deleted, and imaged again. Analysis focused on the recoverability of stored artifacts, the effectiveness of built-in security or wipe mechanisms, and the potential countermeasures available to investigators.
One truth I’ve been emphasizing a lot lately at conferences and talks is just how important digital forensics has become. When I first started in this field over 20 years ago with the Metro Nashville Police Department, digital forensics was more of a nice-to-have. If we could get to a phone or computer, great—it might help move a case along. But it wasn’t considered essential.

Portable Case is celebrated for its straightforward, intuitive interface. Many digital forensic review tools overwhelm users with excessive tabs, making navigation feel complicated and disjointed.
Federal crimes now have a huge digital component which has transformed the breadth and scope of investigations. While interviews, surveillance, and physical evidence remain essential, the most decisive insights often come from digital evidence. Computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices can expose criminal networks, uncover insider threats, and reveal national security risks.
