While the Internet has proven itself to be an incredible place for commerce, information and entertainment, the darker side of society, comprised of organized and individual criminals, have also targeted the Internet for financial gain. Increasingly sophisticated techniques are being deployed to dupe or coerce individuals and businesses to part with their identity, proprietary information and cash.
For Law Enforcement, the challenges are becoming increasingly complex with the statistics still demonstrating an alarming growth trend. As stated by one investigator, “When you steal something in the real world you often see that there is something missing; with digital crime, the challenge is unless you are able to observe the act of data transfer/data communications, the crime will often go unnoticed – so as investigators, we are always playing catch-up.”
Furthermore, while Law Enforcement continues to utilize digital investigative techniques, the fact remains that a significant amount of behavioral evidence exists within content that is considered data-in-motion. For Law Enforcement, the ability to conduct surveillance on this data-in-motion would enable investigators, at minimum, a means to develop or dismiss probable cause – and could eventually lead to an arrest.
The world’s first portable, real–time, online investigation solution used by Law Enforcement, Intelligence Agencies and Commercial Investigators to monitor suspects’ online content for probable cause.
Chronicle provides Law Enforcement Professionals with a powerful, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn suspect driven investigative solution that provides immediate benefits. Chronicle’s solution will increase the efficiency of digital investigative teams by allowing more officers and agents (technical and non-technical) to be trained to use the tool. This provides law enforcement with the ability to act quickly simply because more personnel are now able to utilize the solution. It also delivers significant digital playback support for “Chat Intercept” and probable cause efforts.
What is key is that the data and related evidence are collected and replayed from online “data-in-motion.” As a result, credible results are provided by allowing investigators to replay exactly what, when, and how content was seen and handled by a user, thereby demonstrating both proof of the user's content and related actions. Furthermore, Chronicle's Forensic Information Fingerprinting Engine (FIFE™) technology provides evidence of user activity that is both forensically accurate and credible.
Chronicle also helps increase the effectiveness of an investigative team by providing a high-level of investigative precision in regards to the data it is collecting and analyzing. This aids with legal requirements associated with lawful intercept, such as very specific investigative permission granted within warrants as well as adhering to laws protecting privacy and employee rights.
In addition, Chronicle helps improve productivity and reduce the investigative effort by reducing the time and complexity of data capture and analysis. Essentially, with Chronicle, law enforcement professionals now have the means to find the proverbial "needle in a haystack" in hours versus weeks or even months. This is achieved through the use of Chronicle’s intelligent deep-packet inspection and content capture that effectively cuts out the recording of duplicate data and network content "noise", thereby shortening the investigative effort.
