Belkasoft announces a major update to its flagship forensic product, Belkasoft Evidence Center. The new version 2012 will help forensic specialists solve cases faster, investigating more data with less missed evidence. Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 enhances collaboration features available in the Enterprise edition, allowing investigators sharing case data in a central database.

Less Missed Evidence
Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 can locate more evidence than ever. Even items stored in unusual places, saved in unusual formats, or produced by exotic software can be located and analyzed. Examples of such exotic products would be Snak or ooVoo chat software, among dozens of other tools that even the most experienced specialists may have never encountered before. The latest release of Belkasoft Evidence Center supports more than 60 instant messengers for the PC and Mac platforms.

Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 sports comprehensive analysis that can extract information from existing files, carve deleted data, perform Live RAM analysis, and investigate the content of paging and hibernation files. In addition, Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 can perform network traffic analysis by analyzing PCAP files.

Forensics Made Easier
Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 makes forensic investigations easier than ever before. Automating evidence search, extraction, and analysis, Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 supports dozens of popular, uncommon, and outright exotic chat applications, social networks, Web browsers, e-mail clients, audio, and video formats. With its intuitive user interface, more than 70 artifacts can be located out of the box with just a few clicks.

Collaboration Support
Introduced in the Enterprise edition of Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012, collaboration support allows forensic specialists to share case data. The new feature set promotes collaborative work, offering centralized storage for all collected evidence and raw data. Sensitive information is securely protected with permission-based access restrictions.

Thanks to the client-server collaboration model, users of Belkasoft Evidence Center 2012 Enterprise Edition have an option to use their own PCs to work on a case together while storing and accessing case data on a centralized server.

Belkasoft Evidence Center makes evidence analysis easier by natively mounting and access images created with Encase, DD, and SMART without using these or any third-party tools.
