As examiners, we are used to finding data within database files. These have often been SQLite databases which we have been examined ad nauseum to carve out every bit of data we can find.
Google Workspace’s (formerly G Suite) features collaboration and productivity apps for businesses of all sizes—including Gmail, Drive, Meet and more—and can potentially hold a lot of useful information when collecting data for eDiscovery, forensic analysis, or incident response.

ML: Prior to becoming a trainer, I worked as a digital forensic investigator within law enforcement. I worked on a wide variety of cases including fraud, large scale drug operations, murder, and child sexual offences. After my time in law enforcement, I became a university lecturer, specialising in mobile forensics and cyber security.

DD: Before joining the Magnet family, I was a law enforcement officer for 25 years. Throughout my career, I was fortunate to be a part of many different units: patrol officer, school resource officer, Narcotics, Investigations, and Major Investigations. One thing our department didn’t have was a Computer Crimes Unit. Seeing a need, with the support of my chief, I started one.
Global corporate environments present unique challenges for forensic collections. In Incident Response, reducing the time to collect and analyze the data is crucial.
Cloud-based cyberthreats can come in many different forms: whether from misconfigured firewalls, disgruntled employees, or unsecured cloud storage, each of which pose very serious and significant risk.
In the realm of legal discovery, there is a duty to preserve data potentially relevant to litigation—something all too familiar to digital forensic practitioners who use forensic collection tools and techniques to preserve that data to ensure its later available when discovery obligations emerge.
Cybersecurity teams need to prioritize developing, implementing, and updating their incident response playbooks.
One of my biggest motivating factors in seeing Magnet Forensics succeed over the years was to make sure we could truly achieve our mission to seek justice and protect the innocent.
