We are happy to announce the release of Magnet Forensics AXIOM 7.7. This latest version of AXIOM adds several new and updated features to help streamline your workflows and help make your digital evidence analysis and reporting faster and easier, including:
Share and Collaborate on Evidence with Magnet REVIEW – Free Trial
Improved Magnet.AI Results for Video
To help keep your investigations current with the latest evidence sources, the Magnet Forensics team has also updated and added to our artefact support. This release includes several updated iOS Device Information artefacts to provide device insights for your mobile investigations. The artefact additions and updates are listed below and detailed in the release notes for AXIOM 7.7.
Share and Collaborate on Evidence with Magnet REVIEW – Free Trial
Enabling timely and effective sharing of digital evidence is vital to keeping your investigations moving. As part of AXIOM 7.7, existing and new AXIOM customers can get an early access free trial of an upcoming new SaaS-based version of Magnet REVIEW.
With this new Magnet-managed SaaS option, you can share your cases directly from the Examine export dialogue, and your stakeholders review evidence using REVIEW’s intuitive user interface and powerful search tools, collaborate using tags and comments, and generate and share detailed reports from any web browser, with no special hardware or software required.
Improved Magnet.AI Results for Video
The vast amount of media and data sources that need examining for criminal investigations can make searching for potential evidence a time-consuming task. Machine learning and image recognition tools can help to identify and categorize content of interest so examiners can more quickly uncover the key evidence needed for their cases.
In this release, Magnet.AI media classifiers for short videos were significantly improved, with the most notable improvements to videos under 2 minutes in length. Based on internal testing, the accuracy of detecting matches with the media classifiers was improved by an average of 70%
Magnet.AI is an artificial intelligence tool built into AXIOM that searches and flags potential content matches in the media in your cases. With 15 categories of classifiers in Magnet.AI (view the complete list of examples here – customer credentials required), this feature can have several applications but is especially useful for investigations involving CSAM, child abuse, drugs, or weapons, helping you quickly review content to uncover critical evidence needed for your cases.
New Magnet Idea Lab Beta – Magnet Exhibit Builder for AXIOM
Magnet Forensic have recently introduced a new, free Beta version of MAGNET Exhibit Builder that is designed to be a companion platform to AXIOM. Exhibit Builder is a desktop reporting/building tool that helps you effectively tell the story of your digital forensic findings.
MAGNET Exhibit Builder combines forensic data from AXIOM case files with standard word processing tools, allowing you to build comprehensive reports for a range of audiences quickly.
