Combating drugs and gang violence with digital forensics

Investigating drug and gang-related violent crime is notoriously challenging. The fast-paced, secretive nature of these criminal networks means that by the time law enforcement gathers physical evidence, suspects may have already dispersed, altered their plans, or deleted incriminating data.

By accelerating access to digital evidence and making it easier to analyze, Magnet Graykey and Magnet Axiom empower law enforcement to respond faster to violent crime rooted in drugs and gang activity.

Graykey’s state-of-the-art access and extraction capabilities unlock encrypted data from iOS and Android devices to combine mobile data with all other evidence sources to get a complete picture of an incident.

Combining Graykey’s industry-leading mobile acquisition with Axiom’s advanced parsing and carving gets the most data and provides the best analysis for iOS and Android devices.

Available in both Axiom and Portable Case reports, Mobile View makes stakeholder’s examination of mobile data as intuitive as navigating on the actual phone.
