How to simplify multi-endpoint collection for enterprises 

The need for secure, efficient, and scalable remote endpoint data collection has grown exponentially as organizations shift to remote work and distributed teams. Magnet Nexus addresses these needs by providing an easy-to-use investigative solution tailored for modern enterprises, offering precise, secure, and comprehensive capabilities for forensically collecting data from multiple remote endpoints. 

As a cloud-based solution, Nexus harnesses the power of cloud processing to speed up the overall process, and by combining it with the deep-dive analysis capabilities of Axiom Cyber for on-premises systems—or hybrid setups—it can easily adapt to the unique needs and infrastructure of your organization. 

Nexus supports a wide range of use cases, including incident response, internal investigations, as well as legal and regulatory compliance. With Nexus, you have the power to quickly collect data from compromised endpoints to assess and mitigate security breaches, conduct HR or compliance investigations without alerting employees (preserving confidentiality and productivity), and ensure timely and complete data collection to meet audit or litigation requirements. 

Designed for the complex nature of today’s enterprise environments, Nexus addresses the growing challenges of remote endpoint collection with a user-friendly interface and eliminates the need to invest and maintain additional hardware. It provides efficient tools for investigating multiple endpoints while managing workflows with ease, leveraging the power of cloud-based processing, and fostering team collaboration. Nexus is an essential tool for any enterprise looking to optimize resources and increase productivity. 

Investigate multiple remote endpoints 

Nexus is engineered to handle the complexities of collecting data from endpoints distributed across various locations, networks, and operating systems. This allows enterprises to efficiently gather data for investigations, audits, or compliance checks, regardless of the geographic spread of their workforce. 

• Broad data acquisition capabilities: Nexus supports the collection of system artifacts, user data, application data, logs, and more from endpoints running Windows, macOS, and Linux. 
• Global accessibility: Whether endpoints are on corporate networks, home setups, or remote international locations, Nexus can access and collect data seamlessly. 
• Simultaneous multi-endpoint collection: Analysts can launch multiple collection tasks in parallel, drastically reducing the time required for large-scale investigations. 
• Precision targeting: Nexus allows analysts to specify exactly which data or artifacts to collect, reducing data storage costs and the risk of overcollection and enabling faster analysis. Lightweight agents securely deployed to remote devices facilitate non-intrusive data acquisition, ensuring minimal impact on end users. 

Easy to use and manage 

Nexus prioritizes simplicity and usability, making it an accessible tool regardless of technical expertise. Unlike complex legacy enterprise forensics solutions, minimal training is required to use Nexus effectively, allowing teams to focus on investigations rather than technical setup. With its ease of management, Nexus helps enterprises save time and resources. By reducing administrative overhead and streamlining workflows, organizations can maximize efficiency while avoiding delays. 

• Rapid deployment: Nexus can be operational very quickly, enabling organizations to rapidly address time-sensitive cases.  
• Centralized management dashboards: The intuitive interface provides a single view for managing your cases, tracking collection progress, and accessing logs, as well as specific dashboards to manage all of your endpoints and agents. 
• Role-based access control: Administrators can assign permissions based on roles, ensuring sensitive data remains protected and workflows are clearly defined. 
• End-to-end security: Data collected via Nexus is encrypted during transfer and storage, safeguarding it from interception or unauthorized access. To learn more about the security of our SaaS-based products, download the security brief. 

Cloud-based processing 

Nexus offers unmatched flexibility, seamlessly integrating into cloud environments (and when combined with Axiom Cyber, for on-premises or hybrid environments) to align with the distinct requirements and infrastructure of any organization.  

By leveraging cloud-based technology, Nexus provides scalability, resilience, and speed. Cloud-based processing eliminates the need for additional on-premises infrastructure, reducing upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs. The ability to scale resources on demand ensures you only pay for what you use. 

• Scalability: Nexus can scale its resources dynamically to handle surges in data collection or analysis workloads, ensuring smooth operations even during high-demand periods. 
• Data residency compliance: You can define storage locations for collected data to comply with local and international regulations, such as GDPR or CCPA. 
• Optimized for network variability: Nexus operates reliably over varying network conditions—including low-bandwidth connections—ensuring uninterrupted collection. If a collection is interrupted or should the endpoint go offline, it will automatically resume when the endpoint is reachable again, so you don’t need to keep watch over your collections. 
• Integration-ready: Collected data can be easily exported to Magnet Axiom Cyber, enabling further deep dive analysis and reporting. 

Team collaboration 

As a cloud-based solution, efficient teamwork is at the heart of Nexus as it supports a collaborative approach, ensuring teams can work together seamlessly no matter the location of individual analysts. Effective collaboration also reduces duplication of effort, ensuring faster resolutions. 

• Real-time collaboration: Multiple analysts can work on the same case simultaneously. 
• Audit-ready transparency: Detailed logs of actions taken within Nexus provide a complete chain of custody, ensuring accountability and compliance with legal or regulatory standards. 
• Shared access to findings: Collected data and analysis results can be securely shared across teams, improving communication and decision-making during critical investigations. 

The Nexus advantage
