massively scalable digital forensic workflows for investigators
ADF SOLUTIONS AND NUIX INVESTIGATOR
ADF Solutions and Nuix offer a best-in-class efficient workflow for digital forensic investigations.
Combining the strengths of Nuix and ADF tools allows investigators to quickly get across large
numbers of evidence sources with massive volumes of data. Together, these solutions address all
the major pain points facing forensic investigators and provide a way to reduce case backlogs.
Nuix and ADF have formed a technology partnership to combine their
strengths in digital forensic triage, indexing and investigation.
RAPID TRIAGE AND INVESTIGATION WITH ADF AND NUIX
In an integrated workflow, you can use ADF’s Triage-G2, Triage-Examiner
and Triage-Responder applications to rapidly analyze and triage large
numbers of potential evidence sources including computers and flash
storage media. ADF’s software exports forensic images for indexing and
analysis in the Nuix Investigator range of applications.
You can then process the selected devices, gather and
cross-reference intelligence, analyze the evidence and conduct
collaborative investigations with multiple investigators and subject
matter experts.

evidence sources into Nuix Investigator
A STREAMLINED WORKFLOW
Using ADF and Nuix software together, you can:
• Triage. Use ADF triage software to analyze all suspect devices
and identify the most likely evidence sources and conduct basic
analysis. This will filter out devices that do not contain relevant
evidence and cases that can be solved using ADF technology alone.
• Ingest. Export E01 (forensic image) and CSV (work product)
for import into Nuix Investigator and generate basic reports.
Formats that ADF triage software does not handle can also be
ingested into Nuix to be analyzed at the same time.
Conduct collaborative investigations, dividing evidence
between multiple investigators and subject matter experts
• Analyze. Use Nuix Investigator Lab to process the selected devices,
gather intelligence and cross-reference with other sources.
• Investigate and review. Conduct collaborative investigations
using Nuix Investigator Lab to divide evidence for review between
multiple investigators and subject matter experts.
• Report. Export relevant files and report on the critical evidence
unearthed using this process.
Cross-reference people and intelligence items across
all relevant evidence sources
COMMON FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
PAIN POINTS
Organizations that require digital forensic capabilities face
considerable difficulties owing to the shortcomings of the
tools they traditionally use. These tools struggle to:
• Triage evidence sources before processing—they must
perform full forensic analysis of each data source
• Reliably process a sufficient volume of evidence per
day to make available for timely analysis—even with
high-specification hardware
• Process data held in common enterprise systems
such as SharePoint, email archives and complex
storage systems
• Provide intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces for nontechnical investigators and subject matter experts.
BEAT THE BACKLOG
The combined strengths of ADF and Nuix comprehensively
address the pain points facing forensic investigators today.
• Smash backlogs. ADF triage tools rapidly eliminate
devices that do not contain relevant evidence. Nuix’s
rapid data processing, content-based forensic triage and
collaborative investigation methodology dramatically
increase the volume of data investigators can examine
within a set time.
• Process terabytes of data. Nuix can rapidly process
and extract intelligence from very large volumes of data
across multiple devices and formats.
• A solution that scales. Nuix is designed to scale up and
out, utilizing multiple processors and multiple servers
to increase processing speed as required. To date, Nuix
has processed storage systems up to many hundreds of
terabytes in size without failing.
• Many file formats. Nuix can process more than 400 data
formats including SharePoint, email archives and complex
storage systems as well as mobile devices, social media
and all common disk and mobile device forensic images.
• Value for money. ADF triage tools are affordably
priced. Nuix offers heavily discounted pricing for law
enforcement and government investigative agencies.
• Committed support. Nuix and ADF remain committed to
the digital forensics market and provide ongoing support
to customers.
Using traditional tools that focus on one evidence source at a time
makes it hard to see the elephant in the room.
• Ease of use. ADF triage tools are designed to be easy to
use, even by non-technical staff. Nuix tools are easy to
use and designed to bring key evidence to the surface
with data visualizations and automated processes.
