In today’s work-from-anywhere world, employees increasingly rely on mobile devices—both organizational and BYOD—for work. When information on those devices is needed for investigations or legal matters, digital forensic investigators and legal teams must be able to collect mobile data quickly and efficiently, no matter where those devices are located. Traditional solutions rely on physically connecting to phones, shipping devices, or installing intrusive agents.
Integrated across the Exterro Data Risk Management Platform, Exterro Remote Mobile Discovery (RMD) offers digital forensic investigators and e-discovery teams the ability to preview and collect data remotely and securely from mobile devices without installing an agent or physically connecting to the device—although a wired collection can accelerate the process.
