Introducing Elcomsoft Quick Triage
December 30th, 2025 by Oleg Afonin
We’re expanding our product line with a new tool: Elcomsoft Quick Triage. With this release, we are expanding into an area we had not previously covered – digital forensic triage. EQT is designed to address a very specific need that arises at the earliest stages of an investigation, when time is limited and quick decisions matter. The new tool is not intended to replace full-featured forensic platforms or in-depth analysis. Instead, it focuses on a different phase of the workflow: fast identification, collection, and review of the most relevant evidence before committing resources to a complete examination.

We have a number of good reasons for doing it this way. But first, let’s have a look at perspective.

I won’t compare multi-touch displays, HD cameras, smart sensors, applications or anything like that. I’d rather talk about BlackBerry Desktop Software. Yes, it can create backups, restore information from backups, and synchronize with Outlook only, period. But that’s just not enough… Let’s see what you write in BB forums:
