Belkasoft announces a major update to Belkasoft Evidence Center, the company’s flagship digital forensic solution, to version 2016. The new release comes with revamped user interface, numerous improvements to performance, productivity, and usability.

A number of new analytic functions were added, enabling investigators to dig deeper without being hit by the time penalty. Finally yet importantly, Belkasoft Evidence Center 2016 comes with full support for Windows 10, adapting its discovery and analytic engine to cope with new and changed artifacts produced by Microsoft’s new OS.

“We made a major release just before the year’s end”, says Yuri Gubanov, Belkasoft CEO. “The new version of Belkasoft Evidence Center feels like a totally new product. We made it faster and easier to use while adding new analytic features – all that to help you discover more with less time wasted.”

Productivity and Usability Improvements
Compared to previous versions, Belkasoft Evidence Center 2016 looks, feels and works like whole new product. The new release adds new ways to work with discovered evidence, enables faster searching, and adds instant filtering. The redesigned evidence discovery wizard makes data search settings easier to adjust, while mobile artifacts get their own dedicated section.

The newly introduced Hashset Analysis section allows searching for files based on the hash sum, matching calculated hash values against a given NSRL hash set database. MD5 and SHA1 hashes are supported.

Last but not least, Belkasoft Evidence Center 2016 receives a long-awaited ability to identify and discover artifacts produced by Microsoft’s new OS, Windows 10. The new jumplist format, Edge and Internet Explorer browser data, and a range of other artifacts produced by Windows 10 are now fully supported by Evidence Center.

Belkasoft Evidence Center is an all-in-one forensic solution for locating, extracting, and analyzing digital evidence stored inside computers and mobile devices.
