Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.5 Aims to Help in Corporate Investigations
Belkasoft releases a major update to Belkasoft Evidence Center, the company’s
flagship digital forensic solution. The new release adds a number of features to
help IT security staff analyze incidents and perform remote investigations, investigate
hacking attempts and analyze evidence across case boundaries. With this update,
Belkasoft Evidence Center aims to help companies investigate incidents occurred
on their corporate network or corporate mobile devices.
Remote Acquisition of Corporate Computers and Smartphones
Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.5 adds a major new feature to enable IT security
personnel investigate incidents without leaving premises. Remote acquisition helps
investigators obtain full device images of corporate servers or workstations running
in a distributed environment. By using centralized deployment, IT security staff
may install an acquisition agent to any computer running on the corporate network.
This agent will then obtain full images of the computer’s volatile memory, hard
drives and connected smartphones without preventing normal operation and without the need to remove the hard
drive(s). Whether the organization has one or multiple locations, this new feature
allows non-invasive incident investigations in distributed environments.
Analyzing Hacking Attempts with Incident Investigation
Incident Investigation is another new feature that further expands how Belkasoft
Evidence Center is used in corporate environments. Incident Investigation helps
companies investigate hacking attempts of Windows-based computers by performing
an automated analysis of numerous sources. The tool analyzes the Windows registry,
event logs and memory dumps to discover traces of successful and unsuccessful remote
attacks that are commonly used to break in to the company's infrastructure.
Cross-Case Analysis
Searching for, locating and analyzing evidence is a major function of Belkasoft
Evidence Center. The search engine has been massively enhanced and improved in version
9.5, allowing investigators locate and link evidence across different cases. Examples
of linked information may include email addresses, phone numbers, account ID’s or
user profiles that may be present in the current case as well as in older cases.
With this feature enabled, a cross-case search hit triggers a prominent alert in
the status bar.
Mobile Acquisition and Analysis
Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.5 improves mobile acquisition and analysis by adding
the ability to process and analyze Android phones’ backups made with the most popular
custom recovery TWRP. TWRP images contain file system images of the entire data
partition complete with all files and folders including sandboxed app space. For
iOS devices, the tool can perform the full file system extraction via a jailbreak.
The two features are provided via a separate Mobile Device Analysis module.
Other Improvements and Enhancements
Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.5 offers numerous performance and usability enhancements,
massively improved search performance and better reporting and exporting. More information
