For clients conducting large-scale internal investigations, FTK 8.1 supports collection and remediation from the most diverse range of remote devices yet.

Investigate remote Mac users with Off-Network Mac Collection.

Maintain secure contact with work-from-home and traveling employees:

• Perform off-network collection when a Mac endpoint is disconnected from the VPN yet still online.

• Securely preview on-network Mac endpoint data to assess the need for further collection.

• Mass-deploy remote Mac agents via Jamf® for scalable control over your Mac endpoint network.

Perform Rapid Triage on compromised endpoints with Targeted System Summary Collection .

Respond to suspected incidents and gather insights faster with FTK's new filtered collection presets:

• Save time during investigations by only collecting relevant system data versus a full-disk image.

• Rapidly assess an affected endpoint to determine whether further evidence collection is needed.

• Respond at scale and take action faster by minimizing data collection.

Orchestrate cyber workflows and endpoint collection based on alerts from our Splunk Integration .

Integrate SIEM and SOAR cybersecurity platforms like Splunk with the FTK Suite to enable easy-to-use automations:

• FTK remote agents automatically perform data collections based on Splunk alerts.

• Out-of-the-box integrations eliminate the need for complex manual API scripting.

See how it works

FTK’s new entity management technology is a game changer. Once we confirm the owner of a device, our first step in an investigation is to determine who that person is, so we spend hours looking at who they were talking to and how they were communicating. With entity management, now we can immediately understand these communication patterns by seeing a birds eye view of all the device user’s conversations across all apps, versus the old way of trying to manually read thousands of chat threads one by one. This feature is going to be a total disruptor in our industry.
