The jump into spring has started and so has the jump into a new version of the E3 Forensic Platform version 3.5. Paraben’s E3 Forensic Platform has been a leading tool in the field of digital investigations for many years. The E3 Forensic Platform focuses on verifiable data from a variety of different data sources from computers, smartphones, cloud, IoT, and more.
There is so much data out there to review we always have something new to add and give the investigator the edge on their collections and analysis.
This new version of the E3 Forensic Platform follows through with new data with new collection options with Android App data that can be done without root access. App data is key for many investigators, and this shows how Paraben is listening to what the field needs. This new support goes all the way through the latest version of Android version 13 and covers a lot of popular Apps like WhatsApp, KIK, Tinder, and more. The release is not just focused on smartphones, it continues to new data sources in computers investigations with support for a large group of new browsers like SeaMonkey, Tor and more. As well as enhancements to the powerful registry review functionality in E3.
Digital investigators not focused in the forensic field have some new features blooming with this release as well with the new E3:OSINT and E3:CLOUD license options. These are the first SaaS license options that allow investigators to license for a month or annual option at a lower price point. E3:OSINT covers the popular social media platforms of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The E3:CLOUD options covers a large variety of cloud data sources such as social media, slack, and even live cloud capture with consent. With cloud such a huge data source E3 is tackling it with lots of options either on it’s own or in the flagship license of E3:Universal.
Paraben’s flexibility and functionality are keys to making it a top player in the field of digital investigations. Paraben is offering new classes as well with the Mobile Fast Track being held in person as well as online, and new mini classes starting this spring on specific topics.
