Seek Justice. Protect the Innocent.

BORN OUT OF NECESSITY

Jad Saliba was working as a frontline police officer in Canada when he was diagnosed with cancer. After receiving treatment, Saliba was reassigned to a digital forensic unit and quickly learned that the tools police agencies had at their disposal were insufficient to investigate cyber-enabled crimes.

The proliferation of data and devices in society rapidly transformed criminal investigations, placing a larger focus on digital elements such as images, browser histories, location data and email and instant messages. Digital forensic labs like Saliba’s were overwhelmed: There was too much data to manually recover from mobile phones and computers and some of the most relevant data couldn’t be accessed at all. The pursuit of justice was lagging and without a simple solution available to him, Saliba turned to innovation.

During his evenings and weekends, Saliba developed the software that would allow digital investigators to lawfully recover relevant data, including what was thought to be lost or hidden, and present it as evidence. In short order, police agencies around the world sought out Saliba’s software to modernize their digital investigations. Saliba recognized an opportunity to do more for the pursuit of justice globally if he devoted himself to software development. In 2011, he left policing to launch Magnet Forensics with Adam Belsher.
