While technology expands and provides greater benefits to individuals and society, a related outcome is the increasing number of reported cases of digital crime and misbehavior. Regrettably, today’s digital investigators are forced to deal with offences ranging from child pornography and digital fraud to employee misconduct and information theft. The growth of these often criminal misdeeds has Law Enforcement, Security and Community Leaders deeply concerned. Add to this the potential for espionage and terrorist attack and the level of concern skyrockets.
Consider the following: while Law Enforcement continues to utilize chat intercept, hard drive forensics and other digital investigative techniques, the fact remains that a significant amount of behavioral evidence exists within online content that is often referred to as data-in-motion. For all digital investigators, the ability to conduct surveillance on this data-in-motion would enable these professionals, at minimum, a means to develop or dismiss probable cause – and could eventually lead to enough evidence that would support a dismissal or an arrest.
Whether the investigative effort is being conducted by Law Enforcement targeting criminal activities or it occurs within an enterprise in an effort to uncover misconduct, time and complexity remains a key obstacle. The ability to have a practical, effective way to capture the possible evidence that is in-motion, reassemble this data to its original format and then analyze and search-through the materials for evidence of what has occurred is absolutely critical.
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 Investigative Professionals 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 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 is 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.
