We are happy to announce the release of Magnet AXIOM Cyber 7.3.
This release adds a new option to connect to VeraKey, making it even easier for you to quickly collect and process mobile data for your eDiscovery and internal investigations. We have also added a new exporting capability for AXIOM Cyber that builds on the privileged material feature, and added to the SHA256 support introduced in AXIOM Cyber 7.2.
As with all releases of AXIOM Cyber, we have also updated and added to the artifact support to help keep your investigations current with the latest tools and services in your investigations.

VeraKey Integration
93% of workers under 50 report that they use their smartphones for work-related tasks. However, with the variety of mobile devices and rapid rate of development it can be challenging to collect mobile data required for eDiscovery and internal investigations.
In AXIOM Cyber 7.3 we have introduced the ability to acquire and process mobile images directly from VeraKey. Developed by Grayshift, VeraKey is a forensic solution that enables consent-based, full file system data extractions from iOS and Android devices. The combination of AXIOM Cyber and VeraKey gets you the most evidence so you can quickly and easily work through investigations.
This integration not only makes it easier for you to capture important mobile data in AXIOM Cyber, with the recent merger of Magnet Forensics and Grayshift, it also expands the options to use products in the Magnet Forensics ecosystem for every step of your investigation.

SHA256 Hash Calculation for Virus Total
In AXIOM Cyber 7.2, we introduced support for SHA 256—matching the hash calculation method used by EDR tools to help make it even easier for you to verify hashes for individual files. Now, we have also updated the hash format used in our VirusTotal URL lookup integration to also use SHA 256 which will mitigate any potential miscalculations with this value.
AXIOM Cyber’s VirusTotal integration gives you the ability to quickly check files against over 70 antivirus engines, providing insight into the history and behavior of a threat to inform your response and mitigation plans.

Improved Report Exporting Options
In many eDiscovery cases, there will be set parameters around what evidence can be included in the scope of the investigations. Building on the privileged materials workflow introduced into AXIOM Cyber in version 7.0—which enables you to conduct a broad search using a set of keywords and automatically tagging any matching artifacts—we have introduced new exporting option that allows you to exclude tagged artifacts when creating a report. For example, you can now create a portable case or load file that excludes all artifact data that has been tagged as privileged material.
