GENERAL: WYN: Wynyard Launches Digital Evidence Investigator
Auckland, 12 June 2014 - Wynyard Group (NZX:WYN) has today launched its
Digital Evidence Investigator software. The product helps law enforcement and
border control agencies process and analyse complex digital evidence from
mobile phones, laptops and other storage devices lawfully seized from persons
of interest in a criminal investigation.
The software forensically extracts and processes data held on devices such as
call and text records, emails, internet and social media history and images
and videos whilst preserving all of the data in its original form. This
preservation is critical if evidence is challenged when in a court of law.
When developing the Digital Evidence Investigator product, Wynyard Group VP
Global Marketing, Saya Wahrlich, said Wynyard worked with police forces
around the world about the challenges they face and built in key product
features to help with areas such as minimising the number of objectionable
images an investigator might need to view in a case.
"Wynyard's solutions currently help some of the world's largest national and
trans-national agencies investigate crimes such as violent and sexual
offences, drug trafficking and sex offences against children.
"The software has the ability to quickly and automatically identify
objectionable material contained in images and videos using digital
signatures. It can also connect to external databases to help identify,
locate and rescue victims of child exploitation.
"By helping law enforcement agencies interrogate and analyse digital content
more effectively they can be even more responsive in tackling offenders,
stopping drug trafficking and protecting children from exploitation."
Other tools inside the software provide the ability to easily and quickly
analyse internet activity including social media, emails, instant messenger
chats including Yahoo and Skype, browser history and Google searches and
connect related evidence from other seized devices and data sources.
Globally, the volume of digital devices seized as part of an investigation is
growing exponentially. This creates challenges for law enforcement agencies
who currently require highly trained staff to process the device, uncover
evidence and ensure legal integrity - a time consuming process often creating
backlogs and delays, said Wahrlich.
"We understand that in some large cities there are more than 50,000 devices
lawfully seized each year and with the increasing number of smart phone users
this number continues to grow.
"Digital Evidence Investigator reduces dependency on forensic specialists by
providing a comprehensive software solution designed for frontline personnel
use. Specialists are freed up to focus on more complex or high profile cases.
"Wynyard's software allows detectives and investigators to examine digital
data enabling evidence from the device to be introduced into the
investigation at an early stage and often while the suspect is still in
custody."
Wynyard Group brought the original technology from the New Zealand Police in
2012 and has since integrated it with its advanced crime analytics platform,
creating a game changing product for the billion dollar global digital
forensics market. Wynyard and New Zealand Police continue to work closely on
new features and enhancements to the product that improve front-line
productivity and capability.
