From backlogs to breakthroughs: AI’s role in evidence review
Law enforcement agencies around the world are looking at ways in which AI can alleviate some of their biggest pain points. The expanded use of AI in policing generally, and digital forensics more specifically, is still evolving. But it’s already clear that AI can help reduce the investigative challenges created by the tsunami of digital evidence and complexity of that data.
Magnet User Summit 2026: Bringing the digital investigations community together in style
Over 700 friends, customers, and partners from 23 countries joined us in Nashville for Magnet User Summit 2026 – an incredible turnout that will have everyone buzzing for a long time afterwards. Between hands on learning, compelling thought leadership, and candid conversations, this was a chance to get a clear view of where digital investigations are headed and how Magnet Forensics is helping remove friction between tools, teams, and timelines.
S2:E3 // A tale of two outputs – man vs. the machine
It is a head-to-head battle of man vs machine… This special live AI Unpacked episode will discuss the outcomes of a groundbreaking research study, looking at the ability of human examiners and AI to understand and interpret complex digital forensics results. Who will come out on top? What can be learned for the future use of AI in digital forensic examinations? Will AI ever replace human examiners? Join Brandon Epstein to discuss these topics and have a look into the future of AI within digital forensics.
Media Triage in Magnet Graykey now integrated with Magnet Griffeye®
The volume of media stored on mobile devices can be overwhelming but even a single image can be the turning point in a case, especially when there is reason to believe a device contains Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM).
Meet the recipients of the 2026 Magnet Forensics Scholarship Award
We’re proud to announce this year’s recipients of the Magnet Forensics Scholarship Award — an inspiring group of officers working toward, or advancing, careers in digital forensics.
Smarter analysis, faster truth: Introducing Intelligent Insights for Magnet Review
When investigators access a new case in Magnet Review, the challenge is rarely finding evidence. It’s knowing where to start, what matters, and how everything connects.
Accelerating your vehicle investigations: Introducing Magnet Autokey
Modern vehicles contain a wealth of forensic evidence, but legacy solutions make accessing it too time-consuming, too risky, and too likely to damage the vehicle to be practical for many agencies. As vehicle infotainment systems grow more sophisticated, the value of that data — and the challenge of reaching it — only increases.
Innovation meets mission at Magnet User Summit 2026
Today at Magnet User Summit 2026, Magnet Forensics unveiled exciting announcements spanning AI innovation, platform advancements, and access to new evidence sources — all designed to help investigative teams move faster, collaborate earlier, and extract meaning from increasingly complex digital evidence. Shared during the company’s executive keynote address, the announcements reflect a clear direction for modern digital investigations: bring investigative workflows together, expand access to emerging evidence sources, and reduce the time between evidence collection and actionable leads.
Magnet Axiom: Faster time to evidence with smarter, more flexible investigations
Digital investigations continue to grow in scale and complexity—putting pressure on teams to surface the right evidence quickly, without compromising analytical depth or defensibility.
In this webinar, we’ll provide an overview of Magnet Axiom, highlighting how the platform supports end‑to‑end digital investigations across devices, cloud, and intelligence workflows. We’ll showcase what’s new in Axiom 10.0, including Artifact Post Processing, which gives examiners more control over time‑to‑evidence by allowing artifacts to be processed iteratively as cases evolve. We’ll also highlight enhancements to intelligence workflows, including deeper integration with the Griffeye Intelligence Database (GID), enabling faster, more consistent categorization and improved sharing and collaboration of intelligence across cases.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how Axiom helps teams work faster, adapt to changing investigative priorities, and build stronger, intelligence‑driven cases.
