PASADENA, Calif., May 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Guidance Software Inc. (Nasdaq:GUID), The World Leader in Digital Investigations(tm), today announced the release of the Neutrino(tm) mobile acquisition product, a comprehensive forensic acquisition solution for mobile devices. The Neutrino solution includes a wireless signal blocking device with new, patent-pending WaveShield(tm) technology. Together with the industry-leading EnCase(r) software, the Neutrino solution streamlines complex digital investigations on a variety of mobile devices. In addition, the Neutrino solution's WaveShield technology -- unlike other signal blocking devices -- enables the user to obtain a forensically sound acquisition of cell phone data, even within close proximity to cell towers.
The prevalence of mobile devices requires investigators to have a proven procedure to securely acquire evidence from them, and the Neutrino product is the only mobile device acquisition tool that integrates with EnCase software to do just that. Together with the renowned EnCase(r) digital investigative platform, the Neutrino solution allows investigators to collect, preserve and analyze digital evidence from some of the most common phones, while also acquiring and analyzing evidence from computers. This is particularly valuable as it allows investigators to easily correlate evidence retrieved between mobile phones and computers.
"The need to acquire evidence from mobile phones has created new and complex challenges for investigators, partly because phone manufacturers each rely on different proprietary software and have little business motivation to assist in digital investigations," said John Colbert, CEO of Guidance Software. "Neutrino is a comprehensive package that gives investigators a forensically sound tool to collect and preserve information from numerous types of mobile devices. It works in concert with EnCase Version 6, allowing investigators to analyze and document both phone and other digital data, establishing the broadest and most complete collection of evidence possible."
Components of Guidance Software's Neutrino solution include:
* Hardware support and parsing capabilities for 75 common mobile phones including Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Siemens, LG and Sony Ericsson * A subscription service with monthly updates for acquiring newly-supported phones, including any required cables * The patent-pending WaveShield(tm) bag, a technology that -- unlike other signal blocking devices -- reliably blocks wireless signals, even within close proximity to cell towers * Portability with the entire tool set organized and stored in a single field kit bag
