Key takeaways from our on-demand webinar titled “Empowering Investigations with Data from the Cloud.” 

The cloud has revolutionized how we communicate, and investigations are no different. This webinar sheds light on why cloud data is essential for a comprehensive investigative approach in today’s digital age. 

Beyond Email: The Power of Cloud Data 

Gone are the days when email served as the source of truth in investigations. The rise of messaging apps, social media platforms and other cloud-based tools creates a wealth of data which can contain connections, communication patterns and user activity. Imagine the value of likes, comments and location data tied to specific individuals—a goldmine for investigators seeking the bigger picture. 

Extracting the Cloud: Challenges and Solutions 

While the potential of cloud data is undeniable, extracting it presents hurdles. The sheer volume can lead to slow collection times while legal restrictions can complicate access to private information. Additionally, the data format might require conversion before analysis, adding another layer of complexity. 

The good news is, Cellebrite Enterprise Solutions tackles these challenges head-on with innovative tools designed for efficient cloud data collection. The webinar highlights two key solutions:

  • Endpoint Inspector SaaS: This tool streamlines the process for consent-based collection from popular messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. It eliminates the need for sensitive passwords or usernames, ensuring user privacy while facilitating swift data acquisition. 
  • Inseyets for Enterprise Cloud Extraction (UFED Cloud): Broadening the scope, UFED Cloud supports data extraction from more than 70 cloud sources. Investigators can leverage tokens or user credentials to access the information they need. 

The Cellebrite Advantage 

Several factors make Cellebrite solutions stand out: 

  • Speed Matters: Compared to traditional methods, Cellebrite’s tools significantly accelerate cloud data collection, allowing investigations to progress without delay. 
  • Unlocking Private Data: As the webinar emphasizes, private data often holds the most valuable clues. Cellebrite’s solutions empower investigators to access this critical information, unlike methods limited to publicly available data. 
  • Unified View: Cellebrite integrates cloud data collection with our mobile device data collection platform, Endpoint Inspector. This integration provides a unified view of all collected data, offering a holistic perspective that combines cloud information and mobile device data. 

Continuous Innovation for Future-Proof Investigations 

This webinar underscores the growing importance of cloud data in investigations. Currently, private cloud collection is a top area of focus based on user input and customer insights. By understanding the challenges and the power of Cellebrite’s solutions, legal and investigative professionals can leverage the rich potential of cloud data to gain a deeper understanding of their cases.
