PRNewswire
Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], February 19: Exterro, Inc., the leading provider of data risk management software solutions for e-discovery, digital forensics, and data privacy, security, and governance professionals, today announced its latest industry-shaping innovation - Exterro Remote Mobile Discovery. This patent-pending addition to the Exterro software platform breaks the barriers faced by internal investigation experts by powering secure, non-intrusive data preview and collection of remote mobile device data for critical digital forensic and e-discovery workflows.
* Unveils Exterro Remote Mobile Discovery Solution to Enable Legal, E-Discovery and Forensic Teams to Remotely Collect and Review Mobile Phone Data Without an Agent
Historically, most remote data collection solutions were more complex than the problem - requiring organizations to physically gather or travel to retrieve remote devices, attach physical cables or collection kits at the time of collection, and then re-ship devices back to the users. With Exterro Remote Mobile Discovery, Legal, IT, and forensic investigation teams can initiate remote collections with a few simple clicks in the Exterro Data Risk Management platform.
Once the collection is complete, digital forensic investigators and e-discovery teams can review the remotely collected mobile data alongside other relevant information collected from other data sources in Exterro's FTK Suite or its E-Discovery Data Management (EDDM) module, Exterro's purpose-built legal document review solution. Exterro's platform capabilities provide users with the ability to view all the evidence in an investigation in one place, saving time and getting to the facts faster by eliminating the need for data transfers or multiple review solutions.
"Mobile data discovery has become one of the most important and challenging aspects of data collection," says Ryan O'Leary, Research Director, Privacy and Legal Technology at IDC. "Exterro's mobile data discovery software hopes to solve this challenge with its all-in-one solution for e-discovery and forensic investigations. Unlike traditional tools that require extensive technical expertise, Exterro's intuitive platform makes mobile data collection accessible to legal and compliance teams, enabling them to efficiently review mobile data alongside other evidence for faster, more effective case resolution."
How It Works
Remote Mobile Discovery enables seamless wireless data collection from mobile devices without installing software on the device. Leveraging existing enterprise infrastructure in the Exterro FTK Suite and EDDM, investigators and legal professionals can securely collect data over Wi-Fi or a network connection or wired connection, enabling incremental, connection-free backups without disrupting users. With a streamlined process and enterprise-grade security, this solution simplifies mobile investigations, making remote collections faster, more efficient, and scalable. Collections may be targeted to specific applications or capture the full device. Exterro currently supports collection from dozens of the most used chat applications, including Discord, Google Duo/Meet, Instagram, IOS Messages, Reddit, TikTok, Twitter, Uber, and WhatsApp-and additional apps are being added daily.
Top Benefits of Exterro Remote Mobile Discovery
"Our mission has always been to protect our customers from data risk and the impact it can have on an organization's reputation, the requirements of litigation and privacy and compliance," said Bobby Balachandran, founder and CEO of Exterro.
