Hybrid agents for DFIR: Cloud-scale endpoint management, on-prem evidence control

August 20, 2026

By Isaac Neumann

What if you could manage endpoints in the cloud without ever sending sensitive evidence there?

DFIR teams are usually stuck choosing between cloud speed and on-prem control. Magnet Nexus hybrid agents remove that trade-off — you manage endpoints and agents in Nexus (SaaS), while Axiom Cyber keeps full control over evidence collection and storage when required.

Join us to see how a single, lightweight agent supports both approaches: cloud-powered workflows for scale and reach, or collections initiated from Axiom Cyber that route data directly to your Cyber host over a configurable TCP port. Either way, you avoid unnecessary transmission of sensitive data over standard HTTPS (TCP/443) routes to the cloud.

You’ll learn:
-How one hybrid agent supports both cloud-managed and on-prem-controlled workflows
-How the data path works when collections route directly to your Axiom Cyber host instead of the cloud
-How to deploy at scale and simplify agent management across environments
-How to meet data sovereignty, compliance, and security requirements without compromise

S4:E7 // Analyzing Android Auto evidence

August 6, 2026

By Isaac Neumann

Android Auto, like Apple’s CarPlay, is designed to seamlessly connect smartphones to vehicles. But what traces does it leave behind?

In this episode of Mobile Unpacked, we’ll examine the artifacts generated by Android Auto and explore the evidence they can reveal — from locations and messages to timestamps and user activity. We’ll also look at where investigators can uncover additional context to help reconstruct events and develop a more complete picture of a user’s actions. Join us to learn how vehicle-connected mobile activity can provide valuable investigative insights.

The scariest sentence you’ll ever hear in a digital forensics lab

May 27, 2026

By Phil Froklage

It isn’t “the drive is unreadable.”

It isn’t “they never got the discovery.”

It isn’t even “is that phone ringing inside the faraday box?”

Shadow labs and the case for purpose‑driven forensics

Accelerating your vehicle investigations: Introducing Magnet Autokey

April 21, 2026

By Phil Froklage

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.
