Check in 2 minutes: an introduction to Hansken
Digital data is becoming increasingly important for investigating suspects and as evidence in criminal cases.
With the number of new devices, apps, and channels growing rapidly, the amount of data also keeps increasing exponentially.
Investigators are challenged with quickly finding relevant information in this overwhelming amount of data.
Traditional applications typically cannot process enough data in a short period of time
And are often only accessible to digital experts.
Therefore, investigators often depend on these experts for searching through the data and finding evidence.
Digital experts, however, don’t really know the case and exactly what to look for, which causes delays in the investigation process.
