Modern digital forensic labs are facing a crisis of scale. When a search warrant results in the seizure of a dozen laptops, several servers, and a mountain of external drives, the traditional forensic workflow – bit-for-bit imaging followed by exhaustive analysis – becomes a liability rather than an asset. This is precisely where our new tool, Elcomsoft Quick Triage, enters the picture. Designed as a solution for rapid, in-field data acquisition, EQT allows investigators to bypass the “imaging bottleneck” and identify the “smoking gun” in minutes rather than months.
