Introducing Live Endpoint Explorer in Magnet Nexus: Triage in minutes, collect data with precision
What artifacts do I collect? Where does the data reside? Do I have enough context to scope this incident? In real-world DFIR investigations, teams often piece together answers from multiple, disparate tools and that fragmentation has a cost. Analysts spend time extracting, correlating, and context-switching instead of advancing the investigation, containing the threat, and restoring operations.
Magnet Forensics wins 2026 Globee® Award for cybersecurity innovation in incident analysis and response
Magnet Forensics has been named a winner in the 2026 Globee® Awards for Cybersecurity, recognized for its innovation and leadership in forensic-grade remote incident analysis and response.
New in Magnet Nexus: Deeper Windows evidence, faster macOS ARM collections
We’re excited to roll out two major enhancements to Magnet Nexus giving you deeper data collection, stronger performance, and more reliable collections across modern macOS environments: physical image collection from Windows endpoints and a fully native ARM-based agent for macOS endpoints.
Magnet Nexus now supports Targeted Locations (and more!)
Modern digital investigations need to move fast. Analysts are often forced to collect too much, too little, or the wrong data simply because forensic tools don’t give them enough control. Overcollection slows analysis. Under collection increases risk.
Leveraging digital forensics to advance employee misconduct investigations
Employee misconduct can pose serious financial, operational, and reputational risks to enterprise organizations. Bullying, sexual harassment, gambling, accessing inappropriate content, and similar misconduct costs U.S. companies up to $300 billion a year according to Work Shield. The 2024 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ “Report to the Nations” estimates occupational fraud alone leads to annual losses of more than $3 trillion globally.
Introducing the new Magnet Nexus hybrid collection agent
Every organization is unique—from its network environment and data residency requirements to the volume and variety of endpoints and their operating systems.
Employee departure: leveraging digital forensics for complete, defensible collections
During an employee departure from an organization, whether through resignation, termination, or other separation, the stakes are high. Without a well-planned approach to data preservation and review, businesses face risks ranging from litigation and regulatory penalties to loss of intellectual property (IP) and exposure of sensitive data.
How to execute defensible, comprehensive legal holds with digital forensics
When business data is distributed across cloud platforms, remote endpoints, mobile devices, and virtual systems, organizations face complex challenges responding to litigation or regulatory events, such as legal holds for eDiscovery investigations. Legal teams must not only identify and preserve electronically stored information (ESI) but also ensure the authenticity, integrity, and defensibility of the evidence collected.
How to support early case assessment in eDiscovery with digital forensics
Early case assessment (ECA) is a critical first step in the eDiscovery process, one that directly influences cost, efficiency, and legal strategy. By conducting effective scoping at the outset, identifying which custodians, data sources, and timeframes are most relevant, organizations can reduce the volume of data collected, clarify legal exposure, and make informed decisions about whether to settle, negotiate, or proceed with litigation.
