Up to ten times faster than its predecessor, UFED Touch offers advanced mobile data extraction and decoding capabilities for law enforcement—in the lab or in the field.

Cellebrite, a developer and provider of mobile data forensic solutions, has announced the launch of the UFED Touch, a high-performance solution for investigators to extract and decode digital evidence from mobile devices including smartphones, legacy phones, portable GPS devices, and handheld tablets. With an exclusive compact form factor and touch screen, the UFED Touch is designed for speed, usability, and portability in the field, yet builds on the UFED brand’s solid reputation and device support.

The UFED Touch solution uses logical and physical extraction methods to support more than 7,900 profiles for mobile devices including BlackBerry, Apple iOS, Android operating systems, and smartphones from Samsung, Motorola, Microsoft, Palm, and Nokia. The UFED Touch also supports forensic data extraction and decoding on legacy phones, portable GPS devices, and handheld tablets such as the Apple iPad and Galaxy Tab.

Cellebrite’s UFED Touch is designed specifically for legally authorized investigative bodies such as law enforcement officials, military and intelligence organizations, corporate security officers and e-discovery professionals working on criminal or civil investigations. The UFED Touch’s easy-to-use UI and portability help these organizations meet the growing demand for fast, effective, and forensically sound mobile investigations.

By utilizing touch-screen technology, non-technical professionals can readily acquire and analyze vital evidential data from mobile devices. Such data includes call logs, phonebook, text messages (SMS), pictures, videos, and audio files—even if an item has been deleted.

The UFED Touch is available in two versions: UFED Touch Logical, for logical data and password extraction; and the UFED Touch Ultimate, for in depth, physical, logical, file system and password data extraction. It is also available in standard or ruggedized versions for work in the lab vs. in the field.
