What's New in Belkasoft Evidence Center 2020 Version 9.9

Belkasoft Evidence Center 2020 v.9.9 (or, in short, BEC) is an all-in-one forensic solution, combining mobile and computer forensics as well as memory, cloud and remote forensics, and incident investigations in a single tool. Given its affordable price, it is one of the best choices among other available products on the market.

The version 9.9 of Belkasoft Evidence Center mostly focuses on three major improvements: checkm8-based full file system acquisition of iOS devices, correctness of analysis of GrayKey images and zip containers in general, and carving performance. With v.9.9 you can robustly analyze all zip-based data sources. The speed of artifact and file carving is now as quick as never before.
