IT’S INNOVATION WEEK! –   

We’re back with another week of Innovation specifically dedicated to Android devices. Although we are continuously updating ArtifactIQ by Grayshift Cloud Service, we want to continue to highlight product innovation that we think you will take special interest in.    

This week’s big release happened on November 28, 2022, when Android Enhanced Locations was made available to ArtifactIQ by Grayshift Cloud Service users. What does this mean? We’re now able to decrypt cell tower surveys to present rich historical location information for Android devices. This new capability is exclusive to ArtifactIQ by Grayshift Cloud Service, presenting data that other forensic analysis tools are missing and could be the critical data you need to solve your investigation more quickly. Demonstrating the power of GrayKey plus ArtifactIQ by Grayshift, this capability utilizes transparent decryption in GrayKey combined with cloud-native analysis and data enrichment. Just head to Location and click the Filter by Locations drop-down menu to see the new filtering option.
