Social media intelligence (SOCMINT) involves collecting and analyzing information from social platforms to support investigations. As more daily activity happens online, it has become a key source of insights and context for investigators.
Explore how deepfake authentication in digital forensics helps prove digital evidence is real, not just detect fakes.
Have you ever needed to use Download Mode or Fastboot Mode but weren’t quite sure what they are or when to use them? Or encountered a device in Lost, Disabled, or Lockdown mode and wondered what was happening under the hood?
In this session, we’ll explore the various operating modes available across iOS and Android, along with related protection features such as iOS Stolen Device Protection and Android Advanced Protection Mode. We’ll discuss how these modes and safeguards impact digital investigations — when they can enable access, when they create hurdles, and how they introduce investigative challenges that examiners need to navigate.
At Magnet, we are using Artificial Intelligence to transform the way digital investigators uncover, analyze, and interpret evidence – unlocking insights once thought impossible.
As more digital activity migrates to the cloud, investigators need to adjust their legal processes to align with the realities of online data storage. In this episode of Legal Unpacked, Justin Fitzsimmons will examine how to draft effective search warrants for cloud-based data, including the need to understand the types of user information providers actually collect and store.
You’ll learn the importance of reviewing and preserving key service documents, including terms of service, privacy policies, cookie policies, and screenshots of provider-facing dashboards or archive tools, to demonstrate what data exists and how the companies retain it.
There will also be an emphasis on defining, with precision, the types of data relevant to the investigation and supporting each request with the information courts expect: a clear explanation of the specific data sought, how that data is generated through user or system activity, where it resides within the provider’s infrastructure, why it is relevant to proving elements of the offense, and how it may help attribute the activity to a specific user. This approach provides a practical framework for satisfying the requirements of probable cause and particularity, while making your request intelligible and credible to both courts and service providers.

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.
Have you considered cloud storage but don’t know where to start? Worried about being locked into a storage solution with no way of ever getting out? Then this session is for you. Join us to learn about how the Seattle PD effectively manages large amounts of digital data and efficiently moves data from on premise storage systems to the cloud. From policy to technology and operational considerations, this session will highlight how Seattle PD and Magnet Forensics work together to migrate petabytes of digital evidence to the cloud, allowing you to understand the advantages and complexities of cloud storage and data migration, and to build confidence in hosted digital evidence management today and into the future.
SOC and incident response teams are trained to run toward the fire—but living in constant escalation has a cost.
