Key takeaways from our on-demand webinar titled ‘Maximizing Data Collection with SaaS Innovations’. 

The ever-growing volume of data across various devices presents a challenge for organizations conducting internal investigations and eDiscovery. Efficiently collecting, analyzing and managing this data is crucial for uncovering relevant evidence and completing investigations swiftly. Cellebrite’s recent webinar, “Maximizing Data Collection with SaaS Innovations,” addresses this challenge by exploring the evolving landscape of data collection and the increasing importance of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. 

The webinar delved into Cellebrite’s suite of cloud-based SaaS collection solutions designed to streamline the data collection process. These solutions focus on data preservation, assessment and conversion, simplifying workflows for investigators and eDiscovery professionals. A key takeaway centered on the distinction between remote and full file system collections. Each method caters to specific needs within the investigation: 

  • Remote Collections: As highlighted, remote collections offer advantages in flexibility and speed. Data can be collected directly over a network connection, minimizing disruption to the target device and user. Additionally, Cellebrite’s solutions ensure resilience by allowing for seamless resumption of interrupted collections in case of network connectivity issues. 
     
  • Full File System Collections: When a more thorough data extraction is required, full file system collections are necessary. This method involves physical access to the device and provides a more comprehensive view of the data. Choosing the right collection method depends on the specific needs of the investigation and the level of detail required. 

The webinar also introduces the comprehensive Cellebrite Inseyets for Enterprise suite. This suite combines Cellebrite’s leading data collection and decryption products, offering unparalleled depth and coverage for both iOS and Android devices. Inseyets for Enterprise facilitates earlier case assessments by automatically generating reports on device details like make, model and installed applications before initiating collection. This allows investigators to make informed decisions about the collection strategy and potential data sources. 

One of the most intriguing aspects is the capability of performing mobile collections discreetly, with the caveat that some level of interaction from the employee or custodian might still be necessary. This emphasizes the critical balance between discreet data collection and the legal and ethical requirement of obtaining consent. Cellebrite’s solutions are designed to adhere to these standards while still enabling efficient data collection. 

Cellebrite’s approach to SaaS data collection solutions caters to the dynamic needs of organizations. The Collection Management platform offers a holistic approach, enabling streamlined collection of data from mobile devices, computers and cloud-based sources. This comprehensive solution addresses the challenge of adapting to changing technological landscapes and eliminates data silos within organizations, ensuring investigators have access to all relevant data regardless of its location. 

In conclusion, the webinar highlights the numerous benefits of integrating SaaS solutions into data collection processes for investigations and eDiscovery. These solutions not only maximize efficiency and speed but also ensure teams have access to the latest innovations in data collection technology. 

Cellebrite’s suite of SaaS cloud-based collection solutions represent a significant advancement in assisting investigators and eDiscovery professionals in completing investigations swiftly and effectively.
