Magnet GriffeyeとCSAM調査における捜査官のメンタルヘルス

Magnet Griffeyeソフトウェアは、デジタル・フォレンジック、特に児童搾取のような機密性の高いコンテンツが関する事件で重要な役割を果たします。その高度な機能のおかげで、検査官が画像を手作業で確認する必要性が減り、トラウマになるコンテンツに触れる機会が制限されます。Griffeyeは、無関係なデータの分類やフィルタリングなどの作業を自動化することで捜査官のメンタルヘルスを保護し、捜査の効率を維持しながらも心理的負担を軽減します。本ウェビナーで、Magnet Griffeyeについて詳しくご説明します。ウェビナーは英語で行われますが、日本語の字幕が入ります。ウェビナーを視聴する際は、ビデオ・コンソールの「CC」タブで言語を選択してください。

What is MRU (Most Recently Used)?

MRU artifacts, or Most Recently Used are a variety of artifacts tracked by modern Windows operating systems that provide crucial details regarding the user's interaction with files, folders, and programs that may have been executed using the Windows Run utility. This is fortunate for examiners, because profiling user activity is something digital forensic examiners are often tasked with to corroborate what we believe happened on a computer. It is a method for supporting our theory of the user’s behavior on a system.
