Newly Launched Exterro FTK 8.1 Delivers Crucial Intelligence by
Investigating Windows, Mobile and Mac Data on Unified Platform
The innovative solution in digital forensic technology
transforms data review on mobile devices and Macs, providing
investigators with a complete picture of communication patterns and
automatically organizing evidence into a single
platform
PORTLAND, Ore., July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Exterro announced today the launch of FTK 8.1, the award-winning,
court-cited digital investigations solution built for speed,
reliability, and ease of use with the fastest scalable processing
engine on the market. FTK 8.1 redefines mobile investigations with
next-level data processing, the fastest and most collaborative
review and analysis technology, near native data reporting, and the
most scalable remote Mac collection capabilities on the
market.
Most notably, FTK 8.1 offers a groundbreaking entity management
solution that automatically groups all mobile and computer data by
a single device user and then aggregating all their disparate
usernames, accounts, and devices into a comprehensive view of their
activity. With a clear picture of individuals’ most used
applications, devices, and communication patterns, investigators
can quickly uncover hidden patterns in complex datasets involving
multiple individuals and come to conclusions faster. Then that
evidence can then seamlessly be shared with outside reviewers on
FTK Central’s web-based platform or via portable case, and evidence
stories can easily be communicated via a new, fully customizable
report builder that organizes artifacts and timelines into a clear
narrative.
“Exterro brings 30 years of market experience and a bold,
innovative approach to DFIR with FTK 8.1, making it the solution of
choice for mobile, computer, and cloud data investigations,” said
Harsh Behl, Vice President of Product Management, Forensic
Solutions at Exterro. “With these new enhancements, investigators
can get to the most relevant facts of the case much faster,
automatically identifying known aliases so they don’t have to spend
hours connecting the dots and creating a comprehensive view of
relationships and communication patterns. The key evidence can then
be organized and communicated within a single report that embeds
artifacts and timelines directly into the narrative. The result is
a faster, more efficient, and more effective investigative
process.”
For corporate clients conducting large-scale internal
investigations, FTK 8.1 supports collection and remediation from
the most diverse range of remote devices yet, including collection
from a Mac endpoint that is off the corporate network or VPN. Users
can also respond to incidents faster by performing rapid triage on
compromised remote endpoints with FTK’s new targeted collection
presets. It is now easier than ever to collect the most relevant
information, analyze it in FTK, then respond at scale.

- Get the full picture of communication patterns in cases with
innovative Entity Management

According to one European police agency during the pre-release
launch of FTK 8.1, “FTK’s new entity management technology is a
game changer. Once we confirm the owner of a device, our first step
in an investigation is to determine who that person is, so we spend
hours looking at whom they were talking to and how they were
communicating. With entity management, we can immediately
understand these communication patterns by seeing a bird’s eye view
of all the device user’s conversations across all apps, versus the
old way of trying to manually read thousands of chat threads one by
one. This feature is going to be a total disruptor in our
industry.”
