Description

Cloud-based sources and the web represent virtual goldmines of potential evidence as people commonly rely on cloud applications to perform daily activities, and connect, store, and share information. Criminals also exploit digital channels to communicate, organize, and commit crimes, leaving behind “digital footprints” that can be used as incriminating evidence.

Producing timely, defensible evidence from cloud- and web-based data has the potential to not only speed up investigations, but also solves more cases faster. However, acquiring information from private, cloud-service providers, which requires a warrant, can be a lengthy process for time-sensitive cases. And manually scouring public data from social media is often a cumbersome and time-consuming process. Cellebrite UFED Cloud is a key component in any digital intelligence investigation.

With access to more than 50 cloud data sources, the solution can help agencies analyze data that resides in either a cloud backup or cloud application, which includes a user’s profile, digital activity, and locations. But that’s not all. When combined with information that resides on the physical device, cloud-based data can help investigators build a detailed timeline of events, bringing together the different pieces of the puzzle needed to expedite case resolution.

UFED Cloud removes the dependency on service providers by enabling access to data sources using tokens extracted from a mobile device or computer, cutting weeks to minutes. Collecting forensically sound, consent-based data is now possible without the need to seize a physical device by using a user’s credentials.

With UFED Cloud you can extract, preserve, analyze, and report findings on cloud-based content using a single, user-friendly solution that is tightly integrated with the Cellebrite Digital Intelligence Platform.

UFED Cloud is available as a stand-alone solution or as an add-on capability within the flagship Cellebrite Physical Analyzer solution.

Key Benefits:
