"everything we do leaves a digital footprint," Cellebrite points out in his third Digital Intelligence benchmark Report:

"it is therefore not surprising that the amount of digital evidence accessed by law enforcement agencies increases as the number of connected devices increases (phones, computers and tablets, video surveillance, cryptocoins, etc.)."

The Israeli forensic (or computer) computer company specializing in the extraction and exploitation of data from mobile phones interviewed more than 2,000 law enforcement and law enforcement officials, including investigators and agency officials, in 117 countries.

While 66% of European police officers interviewed by Europol said they were satisfied with the cooperation of the platforms, the answers given to Cellebrite indicate that they would nevertheless be overwhelmed by the tsunami of data to be used... When they do.

Many factors limit their ability to extract and then exploit the data: because they are numerical, difficult to obtain or analyse, because it takes time, there are too many, they are not sufficiently trained, equipped or numerous to do so, etc.

Celebrite certainly has a commercial interest in pressing where it hurts, suggesting that its products could, in the way of "technological solutionism", respond to the problems encountered by the investigators.?

However, it is interesting to look at the feelings of the investigators in the field, to understand the problems they face.

Solving a case has never been more difficult
