OpenText™ EnCase solutions are now certified on Microsoft
Azure
WATERLOO, Ontario, Nov. 10, 2020 /CNW/ -- OpenText™
(NASDAQ: OTEX) (TSX: OTEX), today announced OpenText™ EnCase
Forensic and OpenText™ EnCase Endpoint Investigator are now
certified on Microsoft Azure. With OpenText Encase solutions in the
cloud, law enforcement and corporate investigators can more easily
collaborate, enhance evidence processing, investigate in cloud
environments, and adjust more quickly to the needs of a remote
workforce.
"Industries, employees, and even criminals across the world are
embracing new ways to work," said OpenText Chief Product Officer
Muhi Majzoub. "Digital forensic investigators need to be just as
agile. OpenText supports the investigators at the frontlines,
finding the digital evidence needed to seek justice or respond to a
cyberattack. Embracing the power, scale, and efficiency of the
cloud will help digital investigators be more effective."
OpenText worked to support Microsoft's focus on public safety
and justice to bring the benefits of Microsoft Azure – efficiency,
power, and scalability – to OpenText EnCase solutions for digital
investigations. Additional EnCase security solutions will be
available on Azure.
"Microsoft is dedicated to delivering solutions to help public
safety and justice organizations increase the safety of people and
the security of the communities they serve," said Kirk Arthur, Senior Director of Worldwide
Government Industry, Microsoft. "Public sector, enterprise, and law
enforcement organizations are beginning to take advantage of the
scale, enterprise-grade security, and high availability of
Microsoft Azure. We are pleased to see OpenText bringing the
advantages of Azure to digital investigators all around the
world."
OpenText EnCase Forensic and OpenText EnCase Endpoint
Investigator in Azure bring four core benefits of the cloud to law
enforcement and enterprise investigators immediately:
- Efficient, secure collaboration – Investigators can now
tap into the power of Azure to quickly and easily share case
data for better collaboration with other stakeholders via OpenText™
EnCase Evidence Viewer – an application that enables secure access
to case data for outside consulting.
- Enhanced evidence processing – Digital investigations
often require analysis of terabytes of data. Traditional endpoints
have hardware limitations, and processing evidence in extremely
high volumes can cause unwanted delay. Investigators can now push
evidence to the cloud for quick, efficient processing, alleviating
the need for numerous forensic workstations.
- Access to investigate evidence in the cloud – As
organizations shift operations to the cloud and rely more on a
universe of IoT devices, investigative teams must keep pace and
increase visibility and control in cloud environments. User and
application interactions in cloud environments are difficult to
view and analyze without brokered access between the cloud vendor
and investigative technology. With OpenText EnCase on Azure,
investigators can comprehensively process digital evidence, both
on-prem and in the cloud, for complete and accurate findings.
- Investigate devices anytime, anywhere, with less reliance on
corporate network or VPN – COVID-19 forced many businesses to
new work-from-home models, complicating the task of corporate
investigators to investigate employee devices for evidence of
insider threat, HR issues, or other internal investigations. With
OpenText EnCase Investigator, corporate investigators can more
easily reach out through the cloud to access employee devices and
conduct investigations, without disrupting employee
productivity.
"Digital investigators, be they law enforcement or corporate
investigators, must collect, decrypt, process, and analyze evidence
from a wide variety of devices and data repositories while
maintaining the highest degrees of data integrity," said OpenText
Chief Product Officer Muhi Majzoub. "OpenText EnCase is recognized
globally as the market leader for digital forensics. Microsoft
Azure lets us tap into the processing power and efficiency of the
cloud to deliver better, faster results to investigators."
