Ready for the breakdown of the newest player in the mobile forensics field, FTK 8?  This latest release includes a facelift, enhanced mobile support, and a plethora of supportive features for mobile devices.

Plus, its Smart View tab provides new mini and super timeline features as well as enhancements to their multimedia view. 

Our chat extends beyond the merits of FTK 8 to the realm of portable cases and the case review aspect of all digital forensic tools. Uncover how the right network setup can boost review speed and why understanding the limitations of portable cases is crucial for examiners and stakeholders alike. We also discuss how focusing on artifact-based reviews, can enhance efficiency.  But that's not it! We also delve into the importance of data validation and why a user-friendly interface is key for people reviewing and examining cases.
