What we’re known for

E3 is one platform for computer, mobile and cloud evidence, validated for court. See what investigators say in the E3:Universal reviews.

Computer forensic technology in the E3 Platform

Computer forensics

Deep artifact support for Windows, Mac and Linux

E3 transforms data from Windows, Mac and Linux systems with a carefully engineered toolset for specialized artifacts such as browsers, chat and email, from registry data to hidden social media data.

The long-standing E3 email engines support more than 80 archive types in their native formats. Capture, process and recover data from difficult areas such as “dumpster” data, from MS Exchange and Lotus Notes to cloud-based email archives, so no critical communication goes unexamined.

E3 also simplifies complex file system work so you reach the answers that solve cases faster.

Smartphone forensic tools in E3

Mobile forensics

Smartphones, IoT and connected devices

E3 extracts and analyzes data from a wide range of mobile and connected devices, making it one of the most versatile solutions for digital investigators.

Coverage includes all Apple iOS and Android smartphones, many feature phones, GPS units and IoT devices such as smartwatches, home devices, drones and gaming consoles. Acquisition techniques include rooting, jailbreaking, ADB backup, downgrading and chip dumps for robust recovery from challenging or locked devices.

E3 also imports and analyzes output from other tools including GrayKey, Cellebrite, Oxygen Forensics, Passware, Leaps and more.

Cloud capture technology in E3

Cloud forensics

Capture and process cloud evidence

E3 captures and processes data from many cloud sources, from complex structures in AWS and MS Azure to social media stores, with access granted through 2FA systems built directly into the platform.

Supported cloud stores include Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, Discord, Slack, Skype and Twitch, plus storage systems such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Locations, iCloud, Dropbox and Teams Business. E3’s parsing engines then review the data so you can uncover vital evidence wherever it resides.

Live Cloud Capture is available in the Premium membership tier and higher.

Validated forensic tools for court

Court validation

Validated, repeatable results for court

No forensic tool is universally “court-approved,” but the E3 Forensic Platform stands out. It undergoes rigorous internal testing and independent validation by U.S. government agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), so its results are accurate, repeatable and reproducible.

E3 is designed to maintain forensic integrity. Reports include detailed audit logs so independent third parties can verify the evidence collection process, which is why Paraben technology is relied on in courtrooms worldwide.

Zandra AI for digital forensics and incident response

Shaping what’s next

Zandra AI for DFIR

Zandra is built for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). It analyzes and correlates data from a wide range of sources, including forensic artifacts and activity logs from client PCs, mobile devices, firewalls, servers and other security subsystems, so investigators quickly learn what happened.

Zandra uncovers logical connections between events and extracts contextual meaning from communications. It explains the “how” and “why” behind digital incidents, makes sense of vast quantities of data at scale and links seemingly unrelated events to reveal the complete picture.
