Cloud Extractor: 10 years of the industry's best cloud forensics.

Since October 2014, Oxygen Forensics has been at the forefront of cloud forensics, introducing the first cloud extraction tool to the digital forensics industry. Ten years later, our Cloud Extractor capabilities, built into Oxygen Forensics® Detective and Oxygen Remote Explorer, have evolved alongside cloud technology and the growing need to leverage the cloud.

With the global cloud storage market set to surpass $132 billion by 2024 and expected to reach nearly $700 billion over the next 10 years, the need for the industry's best cloud mining and analysis will continue to be crucial for corporate and law enforcement investigations in the near future and beyond.

A decade of cloud mining innovation
As cloud technology moved from a mere concept to a catalyst, and business and consumer data migrated to the cloud, researchers struggled to access cloud data. The digital forensics industry desperately needed a solution to collect evidence that was out of reach. In response, the team of professionals at Oxygen Forensics stepped in to develop a revolutionary cloud forensics game.

Over the past 10 years, Cloud Extractor's capabilities have kept pace with cloud data challenges. Industry-exclusive services and methods have been added, from providing multiple authorization methods to supporting two-factor authentication, configuring proxy settings for each new cloud service, and keeping up with access methods to the latest trends of popular applications. And Cloud Extractor solutions will continue to evolve.

“As we celebrate a decade of innovation in cloud mining, we remain committed to transforming data into actionable insights, leading the way in industry standards and setting benchmarks for excellence,” said Lee Reiber, CEO of Oxygen Forensics.
