About Us:

Mobile forensics involves several facets of this topic, such as techniques, stages of the procedure, and issues. When carrying it out, it is essential to be familiar with various methodologies, techniques, and tools and the criteria required for evaluating the appropriateness of using one over another.

With effective training, forensic investigators can learn the nuances of the mobile forensic device and tap its true potential. Here are five reasons why mobile forensic training is crucial.

Most tools in the mobile forensic world tend to focus more on data acquisition. Investigating agencies tend to buy product that provides access to data. Nothing seems wrong with this right? What is the point of anything else, when you have the data? But mobile forensics is not just about data acquisition. Various other factors contribute to sound mobile forensic technology. Maintaining the integrity of the data obtained, deciphering the meaning of data, efficient insights, and more plays a crucial role in efficiently handling mobile forensics. In this post let us take a look at four main mobile forensic factors.

The factors at a glance

The critical factors that have a significant impact on the mobile forensic process are as follows

Access to data

Decoding the data

Data integrity

Training the users.

You have to understand that, mobile forensics doesn’t stop with acquiring the data; the most important part starts after data acquisition.

Access to data

If you are a mobile forensic investigator you would know the pain of acquiring data from a device, when it comes to commercial forensic, data acquisition is the part for which consumers are more than willing to pay. Every investigator should have a tool that not only acquires data from the device but also deciphers it and decodes it. Decoding is the second priority of the mobile forensics process.

Decoding the data

Unless you are investigating experts who can understand hex binary data natively and has abundant time to analyze data, you need a decoding tool for your rescue. Not all are skilled in reviewing binary data on a daily basis. But anyone can look at pictures obtained from mobile and find out if it is relevant or not. You can understand the value of decoding i.e. first you can see what has been recovered and then analyze if it is relevant or not. The sad part is many users don’t give much thought to the decoding quality of the tool. The decoding capacity of the tool should be equal to that of the data acquisition facility.

Data integrity

Once the data is decoded and found if it is relevant or not, it is important to protect the integrity. What if you found out that the evidence cannot be used in court during the presentation? It is a waste of time and resources, right? The tool should facilitate the chain of custody of forensic evidence. The chain of custody of digital evidence is based on various principles. The mobile forensic imaging solution should follow the norms and laws pertaining to privacy and data protection.

Apart from that, the integrity of the file should also be maintained in its original form without any tampering.

Training the users

What is the use of investing in tons of forensic tools if no one knows how to use them efficiently? This is where training comes into play. Training helps the investigator to use the mobile forensic in the best way employing all of its capabilities.

Bottom line

A mobile forensic tool forms the base for a powerful forensic investigation by any law enforcement agencies. Like any other tool in the law enforcement agency’s vault, a mobile forensic tool also requires training for its effective and efficient usage. Successful prosecution and sentencing depend on the examination and analysis of the mobile device. The result of the investigation can influence the decision to allow a criminal to walk free or an innocent person punished or convicted to life in prison or even death. Proper mobile forensics training thus decides the line between the guilty being punished and the innocent getting justice.

Improves productivity

In a landscape that is evolving rapidly, productivity is not just dependent on the employees but also on the tech used by them. Training and development help the investigators to go a long way to be up to date with new technology and to use the existing tools in a better way. This becomes the base for getting things done with the best efficiency and productivity. Also, forensic investigators who have undergone training don’t need much supervision and guidance. Training also enhances the skill set of the investigator and employees and paves way for individual addressing.

Enhances performance

When the shortcomings and weaknesses of the employees are addressed the productivity will increase automatically. Training and development doesn’t stop with improving productivity but goes on to scale strengths and allows acquisition of new skills. It is therefore critical for a company or a law enforcement agency to break down the training to address the needs of individuals.

Boosts confidence

Although many forensic agents can be comfortable with their mobile forensic software, there will be methods, practices and functions that an investigator or an employee is not aware of. These skills can be inculcated through vendor training. Training helps the investigators and the users to know the ins and outs of the tools and also trains them to use the best ability. Training allows the investigator to be more efficient and find the data required for the investigation.

Like any other tool and skill, mobile forensics is also perishable and does require continual update via training to maintain proficiency. As the best practices don’t remain the same with time, it is a must for continued learning of the current trend. With powerful tools such as the UFED 4PC, training helps in understanding the nuances and offers an upper hand. 

The mobile forensic field is advancing rapidly with mobile developing companies launching new hardware and software and regularly introducing new challenges.

Prepare the case for the court

Training prepares the investigator for what is about to come in the work. It ultimately prepares the investigator for questioning in the courtroom. The training prepares you for everything starting from the voir and dire which then continues throughout the trial during direct and cross exams.

The courtroom can be highly stressful for the officer’s skill and competence. The training prepares the investigator for the question that may arise in the courtroom while presenting the evidence

Secure professional future

Training opens the gate of understanding and advancement. With improvement, the investigator can become the ideal candidate for jobs. By training a candidate to handle the devices with high competency, the job market opens wide. It equips the investigator with a better future.

Also by training from industry experts and professionals, the knowledge gained is beyond imagination.
