Digital forensics specialist Paraben Corp. has announced the release of the DS Box, a self-contained cellular phone and PDA data acquisition unit built into a stationary kiosk system.
The kiosk allows for the recovery of data from cell phones and PDAs, even deleted data, for intelligence and evidence collection, according to Paraben.
"DS Box is a great tool for locations such as prisons, military bases, and regional labs, as it will enable anyone of any skill level to process a mobile phone for data intelligence," Paraben CEO Amber Schroader said.
The DS Box combines a comprehensive interlocking cable system, for the latest mobile devices in the market, with a powerful computer and specialized software into a kiosk measuring approximately 4 feet tall by 1.5 feet wide. The DS Box makes complete cell phone triage capabilities easy-to-perform and available to any staff member, regardless of their training level.
Remote software upgrades and annual cable updates make this an easy solution for organizations to maintain, according to the company. Getting the data quickly, and in a forensically sound manner, is crucial when information is the key to a case, Paraben says, and the DS Box simplifies the process.
