DIGITAL FORENSICS & CASE MANAGEMENT .
Digital forensics are playing an increasingly important part in intelligence and criminal investigations, with over 80% of international intelligence agencies and court cases relying on the contents of seized digital media. Many of the recent and most notable cases have depended upon evidence captured from cellphones, tablets, GPS systems, external drives or PCs; examples of which include the Westgate bombing in Nairobi and the Boston bombing.
The wide use of digital technologies in criminal and terrorist activities, has led to an increased interest on behalf of security agencies for the provision of practical assistance and support for the enhancement of its digital forensic science infrastructure, applications and supporting services. Digital forensic science capabilities provide accurate, objective and timely information and intelligence and they are major component of any objective, fair and transparent intelligence process and system. Digital forensics are used for traditional evidence to build cases based on physical evidence rather than on confessions and witness testimony and also to support rapid, often on-site, intelligence collection for rapid follow-on operations and deployments.
GioSec has found that today the main intelligence sources are usually human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT) or circumstantial analysis, and each comes with issues such as an individual’s particular motivations or the possibility of deception. The expanded utilization of digital forensic services, therefore, eases the burden on analysts and helps reduce the timeline in intelligence collection. Additionally, if the agency is involved in supporting criminal cases (as opposed to intelligence collection), then it can, rest in the knowledge that the tools utilized are of evidentiary quality, will help build a compelling case and the chance of a prosecution will significantly increase.
The GioSec approach is based on understanding the agencies needs - intelligence or criminal - and the timelines they are working to for the collection of data. As such this determines the hardware and software application selected as well as the devices deployed to field investigators and officers. It is this pragmatic approach along with a deep understanding of the operational scenarios that serves to set GioSec aside from other solution vendors,
