Capabilities and Limitations

Information for experts: How Cyan Forensics’ tools work, and what they can and can’t do.

Cyan Forensics’ tools are designed to answer the question “is there any content matching the Contraband Filter (database) on this drive?”.

Simple enough, but as a forensics expert you will need to know:

  • how the tools actually work,
  • what they can and can’t achieve, and
  • how to test them.

This document covers these points in some depth.

This information will help you in evaluating the tools, testing them, deploying them effectively, and validating and verifying their performance.

Given the commercially sensitive nature of this information, access is by invite only.
