Detego Global, the brains behind the acclaimed Unified Digital Forensics Platform, has announced today that its Media Acquisition tool has been selected as a finalist in the distinguished “Best Computer Forensic Solution” category for the illustrious 26th edition of the SC Awards. This awards program is heralded as the epitome of recognition within the cybersecurity realm, honouring the foremost technological innovations and individuals driving the evolution of the field.
Following an exhaustive evaluation undertaken by a panel of eminent industry leaders hailing from sectors such as financial services, consulting, healthcare, and manufacturing, the Media Acquisition tool crafted by Detego Global garnered a spot as one of the esteemed five finalists contending for this coveted accolade.
This nomination marks the second recognition earned by Detego Global in the year 2023, and an impressive fourth accolade earned by the brand over the past biennium. In the prior year, Detego Global’s patented Ballistic Imager tool, renowned for its unmatched data extraction velocity, secured a position as a finalist for the same coveted award. Furthermore, the company’s “Field Triage” and “Analyse” tools clinched finalist spots in the UK Security and Policing Innovation Awards for both the years 2022 and 2023.
Integrating seamlessly within the acclaimed Unified Digital Forensics Platform, a trusty companion of investigators in fields encompassing the military, law enforcement, and corporate domains to combat serious crimes like fraud, child abuse, terrorism, and human trafficking, the Media Acquisition tool is celebrated for its prowess in simplifying the collation and examination of critical data from diverse sources concurrently.
In direct response to the mounting demand for swifter, more comprehensive analytical tools and enhanced mobility, aimed at mitigating mounting backlogs in the realm of digital investigations, Media Acquisition serves as a catalyst for on-the-spot decision-making. It equips investigators with live previews of the data being gathered, accompanied by visual alerts through the globally patented red-amber-green alert system by the brand, expediting the process of case resolution.
Meticulously engineered to counteract the escalating necessity for rapid, in-depth analytics and on-scene versatility, Media Acquisition empowers investigators with instantaneous insights conducive to prompt decision-making. The ability to preview live data captures, coupled with instantaneous visual alerts regarding pertinent aspects through the globally patented red-amber-green visual alert system, facilitates rapid on-site evaluations. This, in turn, streamlines evidence triage and reduces dependence on specialised teams and resources.
Endowed with remarkable portability and effortless deployability both on the frontlines and within laboratories, this tool arrives replete with guided workflows, robust data carving features, intelligent automation, and integrated analytics. Such features not only enable seasoned investigators but also novices to conduct thorough, forensically sound inquiries within any environment.
Expressing his delight, Andy Lister, the Managing Director at Detego Global, asserted, “We are once again exhilarated to be named finalists in the esteemed SC Awards. This recognition further exemplifies our dedication to revolutionising the digital investigations arena through solutions that cater to our clientele, fostering safer communities.”
Tom Spring, the SC Media Editorial Director at CyberRisk Alliance, accentuated the technology and strategies embraced by the contestants as reflective of the unparalleled innovation within the cybersecurity domain this year. He commented, “This year’s array of finalists aptly mirrors the robustness and agility showcased by network defenders in safeguarding assets within an ever-shifting threat landscape.”
The victors of the esteemed awards will be unveiled during the SC Awards week, slated to commence on the 21st of August, 2023. This comprehensive coverage will encompass “Winner’s Circle” roundtable discussions, candid on-camera dialogues between the SC Media team and award recipients, and profound insights into the profiles of the winners.
