Nuix 4.2 Upgrade Delivers an Essential Toolset for Large-Scale Digital Investigations

SAN FRANCISCO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nuix, a worldwide provider of information management technologies, today announced the release of version 4.2 of its investigation software. New digital forensics capabilities in this release round out Nuix’s investigative feature set, making it an essential tool for any government or private-sector organization needing to complete large-scale investigations efficiently and effectively.

“For large corporations and regulatory or law enforcement agencies, Nuix now stands alone as the most powerful data forensics and investigation software on the market,” said Dr James Kent, head of Nuix’s investigation business.

Adding to Nuix’s intuitive investigation interface and powerful data processing abilities on a minimal hardware footprint, the new version now includes:

• Indexing and viewing the Microsoft Windows Registry
• Carving out full and partial deleted files and slack space
• Drilling into forensic images and examining forensic artifacts with a hex viewer
• Loading Cellebrite and Micro Systemation XRY mobile device images to analyze communication patterns
• Conducting deeper analysis of Mac OS HFS+ and HFSX file systems.

Nuix customers most commonly use the software to investigate:

• Fraud
• Privacy (PII ) and credit card (PCI ) data stored without adequate security
• Inappropriate images
• Drug or people trafficking
• Network compromise or breach
• Counterterrorism and intelligence
• Intellectual property theft following a data loss prevention alert
• Foreign Corrupt Practices Act breaches or improper payments
• Forgery of documents
• Human resources and employment issues.

Recent new customers include the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the European Union Directorate General for Competition and the United States Transportation Security Administration.

In a public solicitation published July 26, 2012, HHS said Nuix “surpassed [its] need to process at least two terabytes of digital evidence per day” and offered “scalability to expand the system to meet our future growth.” By contrast, the competing solutions OIG evaluated “lack[ed] reliability for high volume digital evidence analysis, deep level item extraction and affordable licensing for petabyte scaled data sets,” the HHS document said.
