"Over the past few years we've seen public organizations adopt a 'mobile first' mentality, using advanced technologies to better address the explosion of mobile devices and their increasing power when it comes to public safety," said Ruthbea Yesner Clarke, research director at IDC. "As law enforcement and governments look to stay ahead of the curve, it's clear that technologies like the Cellebrite UFED will only continue to contribute to the ongoing trend of creating smarter, safer cities."
Cellebrite's UFED Touch is designed specifically for legally authorized investigative bodies such as law enforcement officials, military and intelligence organizations, corporate security officers and e-discovery professionals working on criminal or civil investigations. The UFED Touch's easy-to-use UI and portability helps these organizations meet the growing demand for fast, effective and forensically sound mobile investigations. By utilizing touch-screen technology, non-technical professionals can readily acquire and analyze vital evidential data from mobile devices. Such data includes call logs, phonebook, text messages (SMS), pictures, videos and audio files—even if an item has been deleted.
"The UFED Touch is the most technologically advanced, all-inclusive mobile forensic solution," said Ron Serber, Co-CEO of Cellebrite. "Investigators are challenged on a daily basis with innumerable devices and operating systems in the market. In addition, mobile devices are holding more and more data that provide essential evidence in criminal and civil investigations. The UFED Touch is up to ten times faster than its predecessor, is more intuitive to use and provides deeper data extractions even from encrypted and password-protected devices. This is the most powerful tool ever introduced in mobile forensics."
The UFED Touch is available in two versions; UFED Touch Logical, for logical data and password extraction and the UFED Touch Ultimate, for in depth, physical, logical, file system and password data extraction. It is also available in standard or ruggedized versions for work in the lab vs. in the field.
