Industry Adoption and Evolution

For over 15 years, Exterro FTK Imager has been the industry standard for police examiners needing to image seized devices for evidence to be used at trial. Private sector digital forensic investigators depend on it for corporate probes and insider threat cases. eDiscovery professionals rely on it to preserve data defensibly for litigation. Cybersecurity teams rely on it to collect data during breach response and malware analysis. Universities worldwide teach it as the starting point for the next generation of forensic specialists.

This global adoption has made Exterro FTK Imager synonymous with defensible, court-ready evidence acquisition. Exterro FTK Imager Pro builds directly on that legacy, delivering the speed, simplicity, and rigor required in today’s encrypted, mobile-first world.

Harsh Behl, Vice President of Product Management, DFIR at Exterro, added: “Investigators don’t have time to waste imaging a 2TB drive just to confirm relevance. FTK Imager Pro collapses that into a 5-15-minute workflow. It turns encrypted and mobile evidence from roadblocks into actionable insights, whether you’re in the field or the courtroom.”
