The ADF Cloud Platform: Digital Forensic Token Server and Audit Trail

Written by Brittany Roberts | Aug 31, 2022 12:00:00 PM

ADF software is deployed in field and lab investigations of smartphones, computers, and devices and is used by digital first responders to quickly collect, identify and report on digital evidence - thereby reducing or eliminating forensic backlogs that many agencies and organizations face today. Organizations have come to rely on ADF’s revolutionary digital investigation approach to solve their forensic backlog problems.

Now, we are bringing ADF to the private cloud. 

The ADF Cloud Platform is a game-changer for agencies and organizations that need to manage and audit their digital forensic software licenses. This innovative platform is designed to host web-based apps developed by ADF, and the first two apps are specifically built to meet the needs of large agencies. With the ADF Token Server, police leaders can centrally manage their digital forensic licenses and deploy them quickly over their network. This powerful tool provides a secure and flexible way for agencies to manage their digital forensic capabilities, ensuring that they have the tools they need to investigate cases quickly and effectively. The ADF Audit Trail is another app that is part of the ADF Cloud Platform. This powerful tool allows digital first responders to delve deeper into their investigations by gathering usage data related to scanning and imaging of mobile devices and computers. With the Audit Trail, authorized users can analyze the data and gain valuable insights that can help them solve cases faster and more effectively. Together, these apps form a comprehensive solution that enables agencies to reduce their forensic backlogs and improve their overall efficiency. If you are looking for a way to manage and audit your digital forensic software licenses, the ADF Cloud Platform is the solution you have been searching for. 

The ADF Token Server is a powerful tool that is designed to provide secure and flexible digital forensic capabilities to law enforcement agencies. The ADF Token Server allows police leaders to centrally manage their digital forensic licenses and deploy them quickly over their network. It lends license tokens to the ADF digital forensic applications (node) that request them. The application retains one token while the node is running, and the token is returned when the application is closed.

The ADF Token Server is an essential component of the ADF Cloud Platform, providing a secure and reliable way for agencies to manage their digital forensic capabilities. It is designed to be easy to use, with an intuitive interface that allows users to quickly manage and track their licenses. The ADF Token Server also offers advanced security features, such as role-based access controls and auditing capabilities, ensuring that only authorized users have access to the system.

With the ADF Token Server, police leaders can easily manage their digital forensic capabilities, ensuring that they have the tools they need to investigate cases quickly and effectively. By providing a centralized management platform, the ADF Token Server helps agencies to reduce their forensic backlogs and improve their overall efficiency.

The ADF Audit Trail is a powerful tool that allows digital first responders to delve deeper into their investigations. By gathering usage data related to scanning and imaging of mobile devices and computers, from the ADF desktop applications, the Audit Trail presents this information in graphs that are easy to read and understand.

Authorized users can open their web browser and immediately see usage data from the entire department or a single user. This allows them to analyze the data and gain valuable insights that can help them solve cases faster and more effectively.

For example, if a particular user is consistently taking longer than usual to complete their scans, the Audit Trail can flag this as a potential issue. This allows supervisors to investigate further and determine if there is a problem with the user's training or if the software is not functioning properly.

By providing this level of detail and insight, the ADF Audit Trail helps agencies and organizations to better manage their digital forensic capabilities. It empowers them to make data-driven decisions that can lead to more successful investigations and better outcomes for all involved.
