Skout Forensics announces the launch of a suite of computer forensic tools to assist companies, law firms, governmental entities, and individuals in internal and external investigations; electronic discovery, data recovery, preservation, and analysis; and court-ready reporting of digital evidence.

Skout Forensics' patent-pending flagship product, the Skout Forensics Data Collection Kit, allows customers to acquire electronic data in a forensically sound manner from any standard desktop or laptop computer. It will enumerate all attached devices and image them separately just as a trained examiner would. The Skout Forensics Data Collection Kit integrates all required forensic standards in a manner that can be executed by anyone. It has the ability to seamlessly collect data from a computer both while powered on and while powered off.

The forensic image is secured by 256-bit AES encryption, meaning that once the device is disconnected from the target machine it can be safely transported ensuring the data is secure. To automatically detect when the need to output two copies is required, there is a built in mirrored disk writing support. All this is done with a single keystroke from the user.

Skout Forensics' innovative approach to computer forensics provides its customers with cost-effective, fast, and un-intrusive electronic evidence collections and analysis.

"Computer forensic tools don't have to be expensive or difficult to use. We created the Skout Forensics Data Collections Kit and our other solutions in order to make computer forensic technology available to a variety of users at an affordable price," said Skout Forensics co-founder, Chris Coulter.
